British Army Doctor
Hi Everyone,
You may have though about becoming a Doctor, but not necessarily with the British Army,
Are you aware, that if you choose to become a doctor, as an Officer with the British Army you can get some serious funding at uni!
So say you have decided you want to study medicine at Uni you should consider the Army Officer route. This requires you to apply and attend a few selection assessments. If you pass you can apply for a medical bursary. this will be awarded to you from year 3 of uni onwards.
You will be awarded £10k in year 3, £10k in year 4, £10k in year 5. Once your qualified, you spend your first 2 foundation years practicing as usual but earning an enhanced Army Officer wage of around £50k per year.
At the end of that second foundation year you will need to spend 12 weeks at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in order to qualify as a Professionally Qualified Officer.
Once thats done........you are given £45k thank you very much bonus! You will then be expected to serve a further 6 years with the army as a doctor reaching a wage, (8 years post uni) of around £90k
As a doctor you could be treating casualties on the front line, caring for soldiers’ sick family members or providing medical cover for Army sports events. You’re highly trained and play a vital role in keeping Army personnel fighting fit.
You’re trained to deal with the specialist health problems found in the course of military duty, as well as the routine medical complaints found at home. You can specialise in general practice, hospital care or public health/occupational medicine. You also learn to lead and motivate those in your charge.
If this is something that you would be interested in get in touch!
