How can I become an Army doctor? Will the AOSS cover some costs for my medicine degree? I've heard different things
I've seen that the Army can pay for a proportion of your degree, but I've also seen that you have to be fully qualified before joining

TCTori C. Regimental Medical Officer
Hello,
You can join the Army while at medical school, or once you are fully qualified (either immediately post FY2, or possibly during specialty training or after CCT).
Our website has details on both application methods
https://apply.army.mod.uk/roles/army-medical-service/doctor?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_KH2yIee7gIVC-ztCh1UGQqXEAAYASAAEgKhN_D_BwE&cid=semp5024952400&ef_id=EAIaIQobChMI_KH2yIee7gIVC-ztCh1UGQqXEAAYASAAEgKhN_D_BwE:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!8141!3!384414225501!e!!g!!army%20doctor&gclsrc=aw.ds
The bursary you get if you join while at medical school is paid to you in installments of £10,000/year for your final 3 years of university. You then receive a further £45,000 lump sum when you complete the short commissioning course (which you will do after FY2). It is up to you what you use that money for.
I hope that helps answer your question. Let me know if I can help with anything else.
