Hi,
I'm a registered Advanced Care Paramedic-ACP.
I'm interested in the position of Med Tech, and understand from the CAF page I would need to complete BMQ, BMQ-LC and BOQT before direct entry. I understand I can do direct entry since ACP is a higher level than the usual Med Tech level of Primary Care Paramedic-PCP.
I would want to serve with Naval Reserves. My uncle is ex-RCN, my grandfather ex-RCAF, my father ex-RCAF Cadet, and I prefer RCN the most.
However it seems Med Techs are posted to Ambulance Units, which are Army, are they not?
Can someone explain a little more on the process - are Med Techs Army who are then seconded to their preferred department?
Finally, I hold a BA and a MA, and have considered Direct Officer Entry but don't see much medically-speaking as I don't hold a MD.
Are there any other options for medical-related work for Officer Entry, or am I better served with Med Tech?
Thank you.
