Civilian interested in pursuing a career as a Medical Officer

[Banger3D]

Good day,

Long story short, I'd like to pursue a career as a Medical Officer in the CF. 

Aside from my medical courses acquired within firefighter training, I have no previous medical experience to date.

Upon applying, do I need any credits/qualifications in order to be eligible to participate in the  subsidized Medical training program?

Thanks in advance,

Banger

To be an officer you have to have a degree.

To be a medical officer you need a medical degree. Aka be a doctor.

First off, you will need to submit an application to CF.  After you have submitted your basic documents (ie; birth certificate and academic transcripts) , your application will be assessed and a recruiter will respond back to you.  Off the top of my head, I would say that one of the criteria might be that you need to already have been accepted for admittance into a post secondary instituition in the Bachelor of Medicine program.

There, fixed that for you.
