Fox were you did your college? First the (techniques ambulancieres) course lasts 9 months in Quebec and you can only become medical technician after that.Those Medical technicians or ''medics'' are on the field with the soldiers but they usually stay in a secure position, near field ambulances. Yes In specials situations, they go on patrol, like in Op Apollo because, except for the base, there are no ''secure places'' in Afganistan, and if you want to do your medic job right, you have to stay with the guys that will need your help. Heres the medic role in the canadians forces:
A Medical Technician has the following primary duties:
-Provide initial care for ill / injured patients;
-In trauma cases, provide basic life support treatments;
-Prescribe some medications in accordance with their scope of practice
-Provide medical support during environmental operations
-Recover casualties from the point of injury and transport them to a medical facility by ambulance, or by air
-Participate in rescues from crashed vehicles, tanks, ships, aircraft and damaged buildings
-Give basic advice on disease prevention, hygiene and sanitation, perform specific environmental health and preventive medicine duties
-Collect specimens and perform basic laboratory procedures
-Operate and maintain medical and life-support equipment-Perform electrocardiograms (ECGs) and audiograms (hearing tests)

In airsoft, the medic is just a normal soldier who will take care of the ''wounded'' by putting a red tape on the wounded,so any AEG that you are confortable with will do the job, but I prefer compacts ones like the sig 552, the m4 family or the mp5 family, for a better agility. Now I use a G3 A4 (the one with the sliding stock) and its makes the job...
