It does appear she some (limited) executive experience, but no Public Health experience.
Is she someone I would have picked for a position that is a General? No. She has no Public Health experience - hard to head up an organization you know nothing about.
And yes, she would be a General
The Surgeon General is nominated by the U.S. President and confirmed via majority vote by the Senate. The Surgeon General serves a four-year term of office and is the highest ranking uniformed officer of the PHSCC, holding the grade of a three-star vice admiral while in office.[1] However, the Surgeon General reports to the United States Assistant Secretary for Health, who himself may hold the rank of a four-star admiral within the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.
