Does anyone know what specialties work at Military bases in Japan or South Korea? I know the primary care physicians but what else? Thanks :) Also, is salary the same or lower?

Our dear Founder @Lee could probably address that. :D

One of my best friends was just stationed in Japan - she's a pediatrician and her husband a radiologist.

Another was an internist in Korea.

Are you able to work on an overseas military base as a civilian doc?

Are you looking at civilian employment on a military base or are you looking to serve in the military overseas?

Yes. It is possible. Is it 100% something to bank on? No. There are limited positions and as you said, limited resources for hiring, but I was stationed in Korea and I met many civilian healthcare personnel within the base medical centers. Some Korean and some American. Not all specialties and equipment was present everywhere and some more remotely located bases referred soldiers to the Korean healthcare system as needed.
