Surgeon-in-Chief Of The Swedish Army
The Surgeon-in-Chief of the Swedish Army ( sv, arméöverläkaren) was from 1943 to 1969 the senior-most officer and head of the Swedish Army Medical Corps. History The decision to establish a Surgeon-in-Chief of the Swedish Army and inspector of the army's healthcare system was made by the Riksdag of 1942.

Subordinate to him in the Swedish Army Medical Corps were 8 field surgeons, 48 regimental surgeons and 47 battalion surgeons.

Swedish Army Medical Corps
The Swedish Army Medical Corps ( sv, Fältläkarkåren, Flk) was from 1806 to 1969 an administrative corps of the Swedish Army, consisting of military surgeons. In 1969 the corps was amalmagated into the Medical Corps of the Swedish Armed Forces. History 16th century to 18th century Quite late, actual physicians were employed in Sweden by the armed forces, because even in Gustav Vasa's time there were no scientifically trained physicians in the country. The only medical care available at that time was provided by so-called ''bardskärare'' (barbers), and in 1556 Gustav I prescribed that barbers should be appointed in the ''fähnlein''s (200–500 men). By the regulations of 1571, the barbers was obliged to provide the army and navy with the required number of ''feldshers'' in the event of mobilization and wars. But since no special regulations on any kind of qualification existed, this also explains why the Swedish Army's medical care for such a long time and to such an extent was ...

Military Medicine In Sweden
A military, also known collectively as armed forces, is a heavily armed, highly organized force primarily intended for warfare. It is typically authorized and maintained by a sovereign state, with its members identifiable by their distinct military uniform. It may consist of one or more military branches such as an army, navy, air force, space force, marines, or coast guard. The main task of the military is usually defined as defence of the state and its interests against external armed threats. In broad usage, the terms ''armed forces'' and ''military'' are often treated as synonymous, although in technical usage a distinction is sometimes made in which a country's armed forces may include both its military and other paramilitary forces. There are various forms of irregular military forces, not belonging to a recognized state; though they share many attributes with regular military forces, they are less often referred to as simply ''military''. A nation's military may ...

Doctor of Medicine (abbreviated M.D., from the Latin language, Latin ''Medicinae Doctor'') is a medical degree, the meaning of which varies between different jurisdictions. In the United States, and some other countries, the M.D. denotes a professional degree. This generally arose because many in 18th-century medical professions trained in Scotland, which used the M.D. degree nomenclature. In England, however, Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery was used and eventually in the 19th century became the standard in Scotland too. Thus, in the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, Ireland and other countries, the M.D. is a research doctorate, honorary degree, honorary doctorate or applied clinical degree restricted to those who already hold a professional degree (Bachelor's/Master's/Doctoral) in medicine.
