Patient Administration Division (PAD) Module 1 Practice Test

Who is the Army Surgeon General and Commanding General?

Major General Patrick Command Sergeant Major Gerald Mr. Robert L. Goodman Lieutenant General Nadja Y. West

Correct Answer:

Lieutenant General Nadja Y. West

Explanation:

The Army Surgeon General and Commanding General is the top Army physician who also leads the Army’s medical command, combining medical policy and the entire Army medical service under one leader. Lieutenant General Nadja Y. West holds that dual role, serving as both the Army Surgeon General and the Commanding General of the U.S. Army Medical Command. This makes her the senior medical authority in the Army and the chief of Army medicine. She is notable for being the first woman and the first African American to hold this combined post. The other names listed are not the Surgeon General and MEDCOM commander, as they occupy different ranks or roles.
