Joint Medical Executive Skills Website for Executive Medicine AQD is Down

Posted on

I’ve received a few questions in the last 1-2 weeks about how to get the 67A Executive Medicine Additional Qualification Designator. After tracking down the latest info, it appears that for now the website is down. They are working on revamping the criteria to achieve the AQD and working the issue, but for now there is no way to get the AQD.

Once I have further info I’ll post it.

New Masters in Health Administration Executive Clinical Leadership Track

Posted on Updated on

There is a new program for officers who want to pursue a Masters in Health Administration while on active duty.  The program is described in this white paper, and the Navy point-of-contact for the program is CAPT Lynn T. Downs.  I don’t usually put people’s contact info in public posts, so just check the global e-mail directory for her e-mail address if you have questions.

Of note, to apply for this program you must do so through the Graduate Medical Education Selection Board.  You can read about my thoughts on advanced degrees here:
