Medical research in the army?
Additional information
I'm keen to join the army after my FY1/FY2 years (I'm currently in the penultimate year of med school), however I was wondering if there are opportunities to get involved with medical research after completing the GMDO post. I'm very interested in trauma/intensive care/emergency medicine and would like to be able to do a job that allows me to get involved with the academic side. Does the army allow for this? e.g. are academic clinical fellow posts open to army applicants in the same way as NHS applicants? In a similar vein, I'm also interested in global health/health economics/policy and have been considering doing a masters degree in this area - is this something I would be able to do in the army or are masters degrees not possible to undertake while doing army training/posts? Also one final question, after GMDO when you are doing specialty training, is it possible to work in any hospital, or only in the 5 main army hospitals (i.e. Plymouth, Portsmouth, Northallerton, Birmingham, Frimley) - or could I work in London/Bristol/anywhere else if I wanted? thanks very much!
