Hi, Was wondering what the day to day duties of a combat medical technician are?And where do they get to be posted?

Tori C.

I am afraid I am not a CMT but I know a little a bit about their job. Day to day activities will vary greatly depending on where you are posted. If you are attached to a medical regiment you will have a weekly routine which will include physical training, clinical teaching sessions, maintenance of equipment etc..
If you are attached to a regiment in a clinical job, you will do the above and will also be involved in helping with sick parade (seeing patients in the morning) and helping provide medical cover for regimental sporting events.

In regards to postings, each time you are posted you will have the opportunity to submit a preference form for where you would like to work. CMTs can be posted to nearly any part of the Army.
