As part of UOTC recruiting programme, UOTC Entry Medical Cell (UEMC) delivers entry medicals to circa 1800 university students/candidates annually who are interested in joining the UOTC. Recruiting Year (RY) 2025/26 will see an increase of candidates to circa 2200. The provision of Echo and SCT testing is a crucial part of the entry medical assessment process to confirm the suitability of candidates to join the UOTC.
