Hello,
I will be applying to a masters in Physiotherapy in the next year and am considering the military's ROTP program. I have read through the threads I could find on this site, the job description on forces.ca and this document: http://www.cmp-cpm.forces.gc.ca/pd/pi-ip/12-06-eng.asp about the program.
Could someone clarify:
"A civilian candidate will be enrolled in the rank of OCdt. Upon successful completion of IAP/BOTP, be commissioned in the rank of 2Lt with simultaneous promotion to Lieutenant effective the date of enrollment, less any LWOP. Promotion authority is NDHQ IAW CFAO 11-6 (9). " (From the website linked above)
-Since Physio students are required to take Basic before they begin their masters program begins, does this mean that during school a student would hold the rank of Lieutenant? I think my confusion is the phased "be commissioned in the rank of..." I am not sure if you are commissioned after basic or after you have finished your program of study.
Also, if anyone has any first hand experiences with the physiotherapy ROTP I'd love to hear anything you think would be valuable for a prospective candidate to know.
Thank you!
