Can you be a medic in 4 PARA

[Aldo]

Once trained are you able to specialise and train to be a medic with 4 PARA?

Or do you have to join as a medic?

You will have lessons on Battlefield Casualty Drills and Team medic skills. These are the fast and dirty actions taken during operations immediately after an injury, in order to save the life of a casualty. Not overly complex. If you want to be a medic then join as one. We had CMTs attached. It is possible to become a RCMT but unsure how feasible that is these days.

From what I have read from first hand serving reserve CMT, the courses are nothing like regular CMT, I think it's a two week course, but I'd contact your AFCO and ask what qualifications you can get as a reserve CMT, that should give you a better insight,

What about team medic @4 PARA HQ

Simply put, yes. Will have to cross check quals but you can do team medic with 4 PARA, there are PIDs for CMT's in 4 PARA, you'd wear RAMC capbadge.

So it’s not possible to be an “RCMT”. Good news by the way, I’ve passed the medical.
