Specialist Training
Currently MSOs attend the Introductory RAF Medical Services Officers ' Course at the Defence College of Healthcare Education and Training prior to, or shortly after commencing their first tour as an MSO. There are a variety of follow-on training courses geared towards future postings, for example, medical planning, acquisition management or medical operations. Completion of these courses will help to develop the knowledge and skills that you will require to enjoy a successful career as an MSO.
First Tour
Your first tour will help you be managed and mentored to develop as a junior officer. Whilst subject to Service requirement, first tours may be at HQ Tactical Medical Wing at RAF Brize Norton, HQ Air Command at RAF High Wycombe, or the Centre of Aviation Medicine, RAF Henlow. First tours will help you learn how the RAF and DMS work, and the experience you gain will stand you in good stead for the rest of your career
