    Tori C. Regimental Medical Officer

    Hi Lara,

    This will depend on where you are working.

    Some CMTs will be attached to a medical centre, as such they will help with seeing patients. They may provide medical cover for exercises or sporting events. They will also ensure their equipment is maintained. As part of a regiment they will also take part in regimental activities such as attending physical training sessions.

    Some CMTs may be attached to a medical regiment, they may not have so much clinical work, but they will still have clinical teaching to attend. If the regiment is armoured they may attend driving courses and also learn to maintain the armoured vehicles.
