Why join a medical reserve unit?
Reservists are full members of the Canadian Armed Forces who serve in part-time roles. Most have jobs or careers in the civilian world. They are motivated by a sense of service to Canada, and a desire for an exciting second career. They come from all walks of life, and are among the most interesting people you will ever meet!
Medical reservists include paramedics, nurses, physiotherapists, chiropractors, pre-medical/medical students, and doctors. They can also be individuals whose careers have little to do with healthcare, such as teachers, police officers, lawyers, engineers, IT specialists, and real estate agents.
The clinical exposure is amazing; the friendships will last a lifetime!
