    I'm considering doing the four year degree in medicine and want to know what the upper age limit is to join the army as a doctor. Ive read a few articles that the limit is more flexible for doctors, nurses, lawyers, vets etc but can't find a definite answer.

    Regular Army Age: N/A - 54.11 years
    Territorial Army Age: N/A - 54.11 years

    So as long as you're under 50 currently, you're fine.

    On a case by case basis they'll take you until you are in your 50's! Speak to an AFCO but usually there isn't an age limit if the Service need exists and your qualifications match.
