During this time, she worked for the UN "Food and Agricultural Organization" while perfecting her Italian and enjoying the architecture and art of Italy.
Upon her return to the U.S., she enrolled at the University of Maryland to continue the sciences in order to qualify for medical school. Dr. Germain then chose the University of Maryland School of Medicine for her medical studies, receiving a Navy Medical Scholarship to do so.
During the following four years, her deep commitment to the study of medicine earned her an internship in general medicine at the Bethesda Naval Hospital, Bethesda, Maryland. Following her internship she was selected for Flight school, Flight surgery, Helicopter Pilot Training and Survival Tactics at Pensacola Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Florida.
While doing her post-residency tour, the Navy sent her to San Diego, California for surgical training.

Following three and a half years of outstanding performance at the Charleston Naval Hospital, she decided to separate from the Navy and enter private practice.
