    Hi,
    Do you need to be an Irish citizen to join the Irish army as a medical officer? Do successful candidates have much say on which barracks they are sent too? Thanks all.

    there is such a chronic shortage of doctors in the DF that they'd bite your hand off to recruit you!

    Thanks a million for the advice. I am Irish myself but I was asking for a friend and I thought it might be an opportunity for her, particularly if they offer postgrad training.

    She'd have to serve a minimum commitment, esepcially if they give her extra medical training. She should contact the DF directly and find out the terms of service before she commits.
