do all army doctors spend most of their time in surgeries, like a GP?

    Hello,

    Army general duties medical officers (GDMOs) and GPs work in military medical centres/surgeries. Army doctors in other specialties work within their chosen field. For example, an Army Emergency Medicine Doctor will work in an A&E department.

    All doctors joining the Army prior to specialty training will complete medical school and their foundation years before doing 3 years as a GDMO (those 3 years includes the short commissioning course and postgraduate medical officers course).

    I hope that helps.
