  • Medical Officer Training Program (MOTP)

    Canadian Armed Forces

    Because the Medical Officer position requires a Doctor of Medicine, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) will pay successful recruits to complete a recognized Canadian University Medical Degree program. This program covers tuition fees and educational expenses, including books, instruments, supplies, student fees, and registration costs. Family medicine residents and students already enrolled in a recognized Canadian University Medical Degree program who successfully screen for enrolment in the CAF are eligible for this training plan.


    For the duration of your studies and Family Medicine residency, you receive full-time salary including medical and dental care, as well as vacation time with full-pay in exchange for working with the CAF for a period of time. Typically, candidates selected for this program attend university during the regular academic year and participate in additional military training during the summer months. If you choose to apply to this program, you must apply both to the CAF and to a recognized Canadian university that offers a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree program.

    Currently serving Reserve Force members of the CAF who are willing to Component Transfer to the Regular Force as well as civilian applicants who have been accepted either to a Canadian medical school or a Family Medicine Residency program in Canada are eligible to be subsidized under the MOTP.
