(1) What is the process of applying for the DOTP like and how competitive is it to get in (academically and physically)?
(2) Is it possible to apply for the DOTP during your second or third year of dental school?
(3) I feel like I would like working for the Canadian Forces as I always have had a knack for adventure, but if I had to end my contract earlier (e.g. if I wanted to open a private practice even before my obligatory service ends), how huge will the penalty be?
(4) I know it helps to be bilingual but do the Forces still consider you if you only speak English?
Also, feel free to share your experiences about going through the DOTP and also your life as a dental officer. What is your everyday life like and how do you like it? Thank you!!
