If you were to train as a CMT, would the army subsidise a paramedic science degree, and would this be advised prior?

Hi Emily,
The pathway for CMTs to train as paramedics while serving has only happened fairly recently and may change again.
At the moment you can apply to train as a paramedic, but it can be competitive so it's not something that would be guaranteed.
