JOB OPENING

Summary
The American Medical Center was founded in 2012 to address and help fill the needs of the Americans stationed in the Kaiserslautern Military Community. Reportedly, the lack of "available space" for medical care on base and the headaches created by the “pay-and-claim” medical care of the German economy caused frustrations with many stationed Americans.
As demand for medical services grew, the American Medical Center expanded its on-site medical services to include more family practice physicians, physical therapists, psychiatrists, nutritional counseling, and veterans’ evaluation services. Today, the American Medical Center provides many benefits across two locations.
