Do you have to be a qualified doctor before applying or can you get the qualifications whilst being in the army?

Hello,

There are two main ways of joining the army as a doctor.

You can join while at medical school and the Army will support you financially while you finish your qualification. For this option you should ideally be in your 1st or 2nd year at medical school. You cannot apply to join if you do not have a place at medical school already.

Or, you can join once you have finished medical school and both of your foundation years.

You can also join at later points during your career.

I hope that helps.
