do you get to choose which regiment you are attached to as a combat medic and what is the most rewarding part as a medic

Tori C.

Regimental Medical Officer

Hello,

Hopefully Luke W. will be able to answer your question in more detail.

On completion of your Phase 2 training (the course you do to train as a CMT) you will be given a list of available jobs, you are then able to rank these in order of preference. Of course not everyone can get their first choice, so a board will then sit to decide who goes to which job. They will take into account your reasons for choosing a job, whether they feel you are suitable, and how well you have done during training compared to the other CMTs.

As for the most rewarding part of being a medic, I will leave that to Luke to answer!
