Q. Can I apply for AFMC if I have an ear discharge?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
No, an ear discharge prevents you from being eligible to join the Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC). According to the AFMC website, any applicant with a hearing impairment or discharge are not permitted to apply. It is important that potential applicants have normal auditory functions in order to be accepted into the program. Additionally, having an ear discharge can also impact your overall physical health which could disqualify you from joining due to medical reasons.
The best way for applicants who suffer from an ear discharge is to visit their doctor and get it treated before applying for AFMC in order to increase their chances of acceptance. This illness usually takes time and effort so it's important for aspiring soldiers wanting to join AFMC that they start early and plan ahead if there are any medical issues - such as an ear infection or other hearing ailments - that may affect their ability to be accepted into the program.
