Regimental Medical Officer
Hello,
This depends on what role you are joining the RAMC in. The RAMC employs soldiers with no prior medical/healthcare qualifications and will train them appropriately. However some professions will require qualifications, these include joining as a doctor, physiotherapist, pharmacist etc..
For full details please look at the role finder on our website, each role information page will have the required qualifications listed.
I hope that helps.
