Work as a medical instructor in a military unit. What salaries are paid to military doctors, pilots and contract soldiers: not by patriotism alone
The profession of “doctor” has long been respected and revered among the residents of our state. But doctors are different, it depends on the medical specialization of their work. This article will talk about military doctors and the difficulties of this profession.
Specifics of the profession of military doctor
This profession appeared quite a long time ago, back in the days Ancient Egypt, that is, as soon as people began to fight, the need arose to treat wounded soldiers. Therefore, service military formations civilian doctors took over, who had to gradually retrain as military, given specific features military service.
There are two main requirements for a modern specialist in this profession:
- Medical education.
- Officer rank.
But also a military doctor in Russian army may be called not only an officer, but also:
- warrant officer (paramedic);
- sergeant (medical instructor);
- private (orderly).
But only a military officer with a medical education diploma (for example, a colonel of the medical service) can hold a position in this specialization.
Military doctors are able to realize their professional abilities in two directions:
- organizational - this is largely management work, with the help of which the work of medical stations is organized (including medical companies, and service units), their responsibilities also include purchasing medicines and medical supplies;
- medical – practical treatment of needy patients in military hospitals (these are mainly residents and specialized doctors of a certain specialization).
Both of these areas of this profession have their own nuances, which graduates of a military medical university hone directly in the workplace.
Obtaining an appropriate education
Experts say that there are several training options that will lead to the opportunity to become a military doctor.
- Enroll in one of medical universities with military specialization (that is, the medical school must have military department, for example, Tomsky medical University) and receive a diploma with a mark indicating that you have received not only the profession of a doctor, but also an officer’s rank.
- Enter and complete civil medical educational institution, and then go for a contract military service(although this must be done before the age of 35).
So, in our state there is a wonderful educational institution, which is just releasing military doctors from its walls. This is the Russian Military Medical Academy named after. S. M. Kirov (Kirov Military Medical Academy), which is located in St. Petersburg. Here you can, already enrolling, decide on the focus of this profession by faculties:
- nautical;
- flying;
- land.
Basic training takes six years, after which the student, having passed the appropriate professional compliance exams, will receive not only a medical diploma, but also military rank Lieutenant Then there is the possibility additional education– internships.
To study to become a military doctor, a student will have to put in a lot of effort, since, in addition to the difficulties of mastering medical wisdom, he will also have to be drawn into the hardships of serving in the Russian army:
- drill and physical training;
- barracks situation (in the first two courses);
- adherence to a strict regime;
- on-site specialized exercises (conducted after the second year);
- compulsory wearing of uniform;
- knowledge of the statute.
Demand and prospects for the profession of “military doctor”
Qualified specialists in this profession have always been in great demand, especially during military operations. In addition, it is also promising, because there is the possibility of professional career growth. In this case, you can engage in medical practice or go “into science” (that is, engage in scientific activities).
Also, after the end of the first contract period (usually it is for five years), a military doctor can retrain as a civilian doctor. Such requalification is allowed to be carried out before the end of the contract period, but at the same time a monetary compensation payment in the form of a penalty to the state is stipulated, and this is a decent amount (its size should be judged at least by the cost of the clothing allowance issued, which will have to be reimbursed).
Advantages and disadvantages of the profession “military doctor”
Any profession has its disadvantages and advantages. This also applies to military doctors, who become representatives of both sexes - both men and women.
The main advantages of this specialty are what attract more and more new recruits to the ranks of professional military doctors. This:
- prestige;
- respect;
- promising career growth;
- regular improvement of qualifications on a free basis;
- benefits provided by the state (for example, early retirement);
- social bonuses in the form of cash additional payments.
But, seduced by the honor and high pay for dangerous work, not every military doctor can withstand the “disadvantages” of this profession. Here they are:
- difficulties with permanent place accommodation, which has to be changed frequently due to constant relocation;
- alarm calls, regardless of the time of day and working hours;
- business trips to hot spots where military operations are taking place;
- difficult working conditions (especially if the front or line of fire is close).
Such nuances and costs of such a profession can frighten anyone, but there are people who devote their whole life and energy to this matter.

- Period of service (pay is higher when serving abroad or in a “hot spot”).
- Military ranks.

There are also bonuses associated with such merits as knowledge of several languages, excellent physical fitness, higher education, acceptance the right decision in a difficult environment.
Salary of a military contractor
Service in armed forces by concluding a contract between the military personnel and the Ministry of Defense, acquires everything big sizes, may soon completely replace conscript service. In other words, a contract soldier is a voluntary participant in the troops who offers his conscientious activities for a fixed payment.
A person who is 18 years old but not older than 30 can enter into a contract.
The salary of a contract worker is regulated by two laws:
1. Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 5, 2011 N 992(dated 08/06/2015) the law is called “establishing the salary of a military serviceman under a contract.”
2. Federal law dated 07.11.2011 N 306-FZ dated 06.04.2015“about the military personnel’s DD and provision of payments.”
Thus, the salary of a contract worker is set in accordance with these two laws, which stipulate the salary and various allowances for length of service, military rank, etc.
DD (monetary allowance) of military personnel under contract today is as follows:
- Ground forces - no less 20,000 rub. per month.
- Navy - no less RUB 22,000. per month.
- Air Force - no less 20,000 rub. per month.
- Navy (at nuclear submarines) - no less 50,000 rub. per month.
Upon receipt of the title, the amount of payments increases for:
- Sergeant and sergeant major - at least 30,000 rubles. per month.
- Lieutenant - at least 40,000 rubles. per month.
There are also special incentive payments for conscientious service.

- Providing a service apartment, and if it was not provided or the serviceman refused it, the state will pay 50% of the rented housing.
- Additional payments for moving to a new duty station.
- Paid vacation 30 days, He increases with great service.
What is the salary of the Russian military police?
The military police, created primarily to protect the rights of military personnel, are not known for high salaries. In some regions it is slightly lower than a regular (civilian) police officer.
During 2016, the minimum payment was 19,000 rubles and rose to the mark at 24,000 rubles.
Starting from 2017, the salary is 23,000 rubles. Also, the military police are credited with all allowances due to military personnel of the Russian Federation.
Military pilot salary
The material support of the pilots is very poor. high level, pilots have priority when receiving real estate, in addition to all allowances and salary, a salary is paid annually for emotional overload, danger and harmfulness.
Military pilot salary in Peaceful time, without experience is not less than 100,000 rubles, and the ceiling is about 200,000 rubles. Retirement age lower, and the pension itself is 2 times higher than the statistical average for Russia.
How much does a military doctor earn?
The salaries of military doctors leave much to be desired. And despite the fact that doctors are highly respected in the army, this respect does not affect their pay.
Of course, as in any position, the salary depends on the place of service, length of service and qualifications, but as for remuneration, it is the same as that of an ordinary contract soldier. Approximately 25,000 rub. per month.
Considering that a person is allowed to work if he/she has higher education, and the working conditions are quite stressful, this is not such a good pay. Good point is the fact that modern medical equipment is installed at any military facility.
How much do they pay in a private military company in Russia?
Private military company or PMC This is not a new phenomenon for Russia. Wage when serving in the homeland will be at least 100,000 rubles, They are mainly engaged in transporting valuable cargo from different companies or protecting tankers with minerals and minerals from pirates and bandits (for comparison, a flight attendant of any Potemkin company earns the same amount).
Really high payments will be made when serving abroad in hazardous areas , there the employee will receive at least 200,000 rubles per month, even taking into account the fact that he has no experience, etc. the Russian government hired many such military companies to carry out military tasks in Syria, where their payment is 300,000 rubles, that for Russia this is a very high mark.
When a serviceman is injured, the customer pays a so-called penalty, its amount depends on the severity of the injury. If the mercenary is killed, his family receives 5 million rubles.
When will military salaries be raised, wage indexation?
Salary indexation occurs annually, in addition by 2017, the government promised to provide an increase in salaries for the military in Russia at least 2 times, This project especially concerns medical personnel and those serving under contract.
But the fact that the indexation process works can be seen in the amount of pay for conscripts. In 2012, per month, a conscript received 500 rubles(3-4 times less than the standard scholarship). On this moment it amounts to 3,000 rubles and continues to grow. By the beginning of 2018, the Ministry of Defense has set a goal to achieve minimum payment50,000 rubles for military personnel. Such a jump is quite possible, given that indexation was not carried out in 2016, even despite the worsening crisis.
The salaries of contract workers will be high and stable, video:
