<p>By Lt. Cmdr. Andy Baldwin, Senior Medical Officer, USS Makin Island (LHD 8).<br><br>"I wanted to lead a large medical department and deploy around the world. That opportunity presented itself with the leadership role of Senior Medical Officer (SMO) of the large deck amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8). As a medical officer on board a ship, I can tell you that you are viewed much differently. You are first and foremost a naval officer, more so a leader of a department, and then oh, by the way, you are a physician as well."<br></p>
