living). Key West is definately a
tourist/Spring Break town. Great water sports. Activities/fairs/etc nearly
every weekend. Very diverse population.

Miami is closest city, about 150mi |
|
The
Best Aspects…. |
Small command offers "family" atmosphere to the
clinic. Corpsmen are wonderful and very helpful. Hours are reasonable, great for family life and
"other" interests. |
|
The
Worst Aspects… |
No inpt care, unfortunately you have to give up
responsibility of your patients should they need inpt care. (including no
newborn inpt care). Isolated duty
station. MOOD call includes calls
about adult patiemts, Sat clinic (0800-1200) is acute care clinic, including
adult patients. |
