The Surgeon General must be someone who is already a Regular Corps member and who has specialized training or significant experience in public health programs. When the four-year term ends, the Surgeon General reverts back to whatever rank and position they would have held in the Regular Corps or Ready Reserve Corps if they had never served as Surgeon General — unless they get reappointed.
