AFMS SSC Medical Officer Recruitment 2026 has opened with a short notice, and the application window itself is short — just ten days. The Armed Forces Medical Services (AFMS) will take on 120 Medical Officers under the Short Service Commission, and online applications run from 09-11-2026 to 18-11-2026 through the official portal. Because only a short notice is out so far, with the detailed notification still to follow, this is the moment to get your documents ready — MBBS degree, permanent registration and NEET PG details — so the form itself takes minutes when the link goes live.
