Anypony with the will to join can do so by sending a request to the local Royal Guard's offices or by contacting directly one of the regional Dr. Commanders or the Surgeon Captain. The higher the medical expertise, the higher the rank you'll be set in (After 6 weeks of military training. High ranks must also take an additional 6 months of leadership training before joining). If your abilities in medicine are sub-par, however, you'll need to spend at least 3 months of medical training with the Dr. Commander that's been assigned to your region.
Due to the recent passing of the last Surgeon Captain (Dr. Lassara), the title of Surgeon Captain now passes to the former Dr. Commander assigned to Ponyville, publicly known as Zerathur Naszberuk. That is, until someone with higher expertise can assume the rank.

The protoss was not far from the entrance, watching over a couple of armored trainees as they did their best to patch imaginary wounds in not-so-imaginary mannequins.

He would soon notice the arrival of the mare and slowly made his way towards there, making sure to still keep an eye on the students. "And I thought you'd never show up. Good morning, miss." He greeted her with a short nod.
He raised one of the front hooves and shook the head, chuckling a bit. "No no, it's fine. I'll finish today's lesson with the rest of the class, then I'll go up to the office and bring you the papers that need to be signed." He said before looking back at the group of students.

I'll finish today's lesson with the rest of the class, then I'll go up to the office and bring you the papers that need to be signed." He said before looking back at the group of students. One of them had gotten tired of healing the mannequins, and had given life to theirs instead. "... Excuse me, I need to do something. I'll be right back."
“Oh boy.....ooo that’s ones putting it on all wrong, no no no that caste goes on the other way”. Amari mumbles irratated at the utter failure of some recruits as she already had medical training to some extent
"I know, right?" He mumbled before running off towards the small group. He used his psionics to cancel out the magic that had given the mannequin life, and also took a bit of time to reprehend the others for their incompetence. "Oi oi oi, comrades!...

He used his psionics to cancel out the magic that had given the mannequin life, and also took a bit of time to reprehend the others for their incompetence. "Oi oi oi, comrades!... What in the name of Khas? I told you that all you needed to do was follow the original instructions without looking at yer books, and y'all still managed to fail?... Start over again. And make sure to get it right this time, or the whole class will have to do cleaning duty today!" And with that out of the way, he sighed and watched them get back to work for a bit, before going back towards the mare. "Sorry about that. They're still a long way off..."
“I can see, ever try to put them into actual scenarios, my teacher literally would beat a student and tell us how to heal him, then he’d beat another one without telling us how to help him, I’ve personally had seven broken limps and twelve concussions”

The capital city of Equestria, home to most of the Unicorn population in the country and therefore the most dangerous place for a Protoss to be. The air itself was filled with magic, every corner tainted with enough of it that even a completely healthy Khul'dêmar would pass out within a minute. And yet, Zerathur was there. His blue eyes had completely lost their glow and his legs trembled lightly with the sheer force of the magic that surrounded him, despite the efforts anti-energy armor that his sister, Erian, had made to him. He walked across the city, every step a phenomenal feat, as he made his way towards the Mercy Guard HQ.

An important meeting was about to take place, and it would decide the next leader of the military group after the vanishing of the last Surgeon Captain, Dr. Lassara. Sadly, she had never appointed any other as the second in command, preferring instead to split the Doctor Commander rank and setting one for every province of Equestria. A fiery debate on who was the best choice to take over the group was about to start, as each pony believed to have greater medical expertise over the others, with the exception of only a couple, who remained calm and focused during the conference.
-
Zerathur sat down on his chair, his eyes slowly focusing on each pony that sat around the large round table. A couple of seats were still empty (The Commanders in charge of Manehattan and Appleloosa were unable to come in time due to transport complications) when the discussion began. The one in charge of Canterlot, a green unicorn, was the first to speak. His speech was long and mainly focused on his own doings and the battles that he helped to win. Some applauded, others just shook their heads and shrugged. The next one spoke, and the next, and the next...
-
When it was time for Zerathur to speak, he just raised his eyes to look at all others before making a small movement with the hoof. "I'll pass." He simply said. The others looked at him in disbelief, but soon resumed their line of speeches, some being applauded and some being frowned upon. Once they were all done, the mainline discussion began, and it would've lasted for hours on end...
-
But it didn't, for half an hour later one of the Dr. Commanders, the one in charge of Cloudsdale, raised his voice above the others and silenced them all with an imponent voice. "Silence!... If anyone here truly believes that their medical skill surpasses the others, then raise your left hoof towards the sky." And so, a third of the room raised their hooves. "Who here has ever even had to use such skills in the heat of battle?" Another question emerged from the same pony, and this time only four of the previous ones had raised their hooves. "Doctor Naszberuk, do I have to repeat my question?"
-
Dazed with the very mention of his last name, the protoss raised the eyes to look at the others that surrounded him, noticing that most of them were staring back at him. He awkwardly put his left hoof up, looking down to avoid the stares. Soon, the last question emerged. "Who here is willing to forfeit their very lives for the safety of others, and would sacrifice everything to have others reach safety?..." A small smile sprouted on the face of the protoss. What kind of question was that? It was so cheesy and mechanical, definitely the others would keep their hooves up.
-
He raised his sight and was stunned once more, for he was the only one with the hoof pointed upwards. He quickly set it back down and shook the head. "No no no, I know what you're thinking... This is a bad idea. I'm a protoss. A refugee. A bleeder. I barely made it through a simple walk in Canterlot in one peace without being shredded by magic!" He quickly said, and some did agree with his words, but the others were unphased. "If there's anyone in here that is against having Doctor Naszberuk be promoted into Captain of the Mercy Guard, speak now or silence theeself for eternity." The Cloudsdale pony spoke once more, and all others stayed in silence. The Canterlot Dr. Cmmdr. huffed and looked away, but did not interfere.
-
"So it is done... Zerathur Naszberuk, by the vote of the council, you've been elected as the Doctor Captain of the Mercy Guard. The Princess will be warned about the power changes, and the paperwork will be sent to your office in Ponyville."
// This was... Quite a long one. Holy Khas. Sorry if you clicked the 'See more' and had to scroll halfway down the screen to finally click the 'see less' option, I had a creative outburst. ;3;
"Great job? It certainly isn't..." The protoss mumbled, stuck under a large pile of papers that he needed to read and sign. "See, this is the reason for me to not want to be captain. Paperwork."
