PAF Female Medical Officer 137 Combat Support Course 2026 Full Time

PAF female Medical Officer jobs 2026 are now open for qualified Pakistani female doctors who want to serve as commissioned officers in the Pakistan Air Force Medical Branch through the 137 Combat Support Course. Online registration is available from 02 June 2026 to 10 Aug 2026 only at PAF and this is a rare and prestigious opportunity for women doctors across Pakistan to build a career that combines clinical excellence with the honour of national service in uniform.

Why This Job Matters

A lot of Pakistani women doctors spend years in training and then find themselves in a clinical career that does not offer the professional growth, financial security, or sense of purpose they were originally looking for. PAF Medical Branch changes that equation significantly. Female medical officers in PAF are commissioned at officer rank, practice in modern CMH-level facilities, receive competitive government pay, and contribute to a healthcare system that serves thousands of Air Force families nationwide. The combination of clinical practice at an institutional level, commissioned officer status, and the professional prestige of PAF service creates a career trajectory that very few civilian medical positions can match for Pakistani women who have the qualifications and the drive to pursue it.

About Pakistan Air Force Medical Branch

Pakistan Air Force Medical Branch has been actively expanding opportunities for qualified women doctors across its specialist and general duty categories in recent years. PAF hospitals and medical facilities operate to internationally recognized clinical standards and are considered among the better institutional healthcare environments available for medical practice in Pakistan. Female medical officers work alongside male colleagues and are posted to PAF facilities across the country based on their specialty and the operational requirements of the branch.

PAF Female Medical Officer 2026 Available Categories

The same two categories available to male candidates are also open to female doctors under 137 Combat Support Course:

Specialist category covers seven specialties: Eye Specialist, Anaesthetist, Radiologist, ENT Specialist, Psychiatrist, Neuro Surgeon, and Orthopedic Surgeon. Postgraduate fellowship or diploma in the relevant specialty from a PMDC-recognized institution is required.

General Duty Medical Officer category is open to female MBBS graduates with minimum first division and at least one completed year of house job. Candidates who have cleared FCPS Part 1 after December 2025 are also eligible.

Eligibility Criteria

Key Responsibilities

1. Female Specialist Medical Officers are posted to PAF hospitals and medical facilities based on their area of specialization. They manage complex cases in their respective disciplines, provide consultations to PAF personnel and families, and contribute to the academic and clinical development of junior medical staff at their assigned facility.
2. Female GDMOs serve as frontline physicians at PAF dispensaries and station sick quarters across air force bases. Key daily responsibilities include:

• Managing outpatient consultations for personnel and dependents
• Emergency medical response at base level
• Health surveillance of personnel assigned to their station
• Participation in aviation medicine orientation training
• Contributing to preventive health programmes and wellness campaigns

1. Female PAF Medical Officers play a uniquely valuable role in serving female personnel and family members in the Air Force community. Female patients in military communities consistently feel more comfortable with female doctors — making female medical officers not just an employment opportunity but a genuine operational asset for PAF’s healthcare system.
2. All female PAF medical officers are also responsible for maintaining accurate patient records, participating in medical board proceedings, and adhering to the highest standards of professional conduct that commissioned officer service requires both on and off duty.

Test Pattern and Selection Process

Female candidates go through the same standardized selection process as male candidates. The process begins with an intelligence and academic test at the assigned PAF Information and Selection Centre. Shortlisted candidates proceed to a medical examination, physical fitness test, and preliminary interview. The next stage involves a psychological assessment followed by an AHQ Selection Board interview in Rawalpindi, Lahore, or Karachi. A final comprehensive medical examination at CMB Lahore is followed by the concluding AHQ Selection Board interview in Islamabad. Selection is made by Air Headquarters strictly on merit.

Preparation Tips

• Renew your PMDC registration before applying if it is close to expiry or already lapsed. This is the single most common reason female doctors find themselves ineligible after going through the effort of preparing for PAF Medical Officer selection. PMDC renewal takes time — do not assume it will process within the 12-day registration window.
• For the AHQ Selection Board interview, prepare to speak confidently about why you specifically want to serve in the Pakistan Air Force Medical Branch rather than a civilian hospital or NGO setting. Generic answers about patriotism do not distinguish you  specific answers about what PAF’s clinical environment offers that civilian careers do not are what interviewers remember.
• For the physical fitness component, female doctors who have not been regularly active often underestimate the running requirement. Begin a daily walking and running routine at least six weeks before your expected test date. The physical test is a minimum threshold, not a competition meeting it comfortably is what you should aim for.
