If I'm already in as a cmt, but want to change to physio therapy, is there a way the army will fund me to go to university or do I have to leave and rejoin

Question

I'm already serving and have been in for 5 years, I would like to pursue physiotherapy but I was wondering if the army offers a contract similar to nursing in which I can stay in and become a physiotherapist with then a return of service time?

Hello and thanks for your question.
That's really exciting to hear how you want to pivot. My advice would be to speak to your Chain of Command and maybe reach out to a contact at RAMS.  Take a look a the physio job on our website to make sure you are eligible.
I definitely would try and transfer rather than leaving and re-joining. The team at RAMS will be able to explain the process and what funding would be available.
Wishing you good luck 😊

Have a question of your own?

How often do you see your friends and family from home?

I like the idea of being in the Army but I don't want to kill people, is there a job where this is possible?

What is the food like in the Army?

What do deployments abroad include? Like what happens and whats the day to day life of soldiers like on deployment?
