SA Military Health Service
Excellent career opportunities await dynamic individuals with a keen interest in pursuing a career in the military medical
environment.
The Military Skills Development (MSD) programme is a two-year voluntary service system with the long-term goal of enhancing the SA National Defence Force’s deployment capability. Recruits are required to sign up for a period of two years, during which they will receive military training and further functional training in their first year of service. During the second year of service, depending on the duration of their functional orientation, they will be deployed where needed and given the opportunity to apply their knowledge and develop their skills.
General Requirments:
- South African Citizen
- Aged 18-22
- Grade 12 certificate (or currently in grade 12).
- Not area bound
- No record of serious criminal offenses
- Medically fit according to SANDF requirements

Other Study Opportunities:
The SA Military Health Service does not offer "bursaries" as companies do in the private sector. Instead selected
candidates are required to join the SANDF on a contract basis. This necessitates the successful completion of prescribed military courses during the first year of the contract, whereafter the contract will be extended if selected, followed by studies at selected tertiary institutions and continued service in the SANDF for the remainder of the contract period.
