The retention of qualified military healthcare providers is a top priority for Department of Defense (DoD) leaders. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between resilience and professional quality of life and to explore differences among providers who had been deployed and those who had never been deployed. Results indicated high resilience scores among all providers, and significant relationships between dimensions of professional quality of life and resilience. There were significant differences in professional quality of life based on deployment. Recommendations for future research are included, particularly as retention is an important issue for the DoD.
