Ten midshipmen will begin their studies at the Medical University of Vienna this winter semester. Applicants for this program must be suitable for military service and take the regular medical entrance test.
They must be among the top 25 percent of applicants. Before the actual entrance test, a maximum of 40 applicants who meet the basic requirements for military medical studies receive special preparation from the Austrian Armed Forces (-> here you can find the latest army news). https://militaeraktuell.at/rheinmetall-gruendet-mit-udi-gemeinschaftsunternehmen/ After completing their training, graduates work for the Austrian Armed Forces for eight to eleven years, depending on their specialty, and take on responsible and varied tasks as a military doctor in a national and international environment. A total of 16 prospective military doctors are currently undergoing this training. “Mission Forward not only means modernizing the equipment again after decades, but also recruiting and retaining qualified personnel. The new military medicine course is an essential contribution as part of our personnel offensive,” says Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner.
