Explore the Rewards of Correctional Medicine: Final Video in NCCHC Foundation Series



The final video in the NCCHC Foundation’s career series shines a spotlight on the unique and rewarding benefits of working in correctional medicine. Featuring inspiring testimonials from working physicians, the video captures the deep sense of purpose and fulfillment that comes with this vital work:

  • “All of us who are working there: we want to be there.”
  • “We have a role in making a difference systemically.”
  • “It made me a better human being.”

These powerful messages underscore how careers in correctional medicine provide an unparalleled opportunity to work with underserved communities, creating meaningful change on both individual and systemic levels.

The video series is part of the NCCHC Foundation’s commitment to advancing workforce development and attracting talented professionals to the field. You can watch the video below, on NCCHC’s YouTube page, or on the Careers in Correctional Health Care page.
