Hey everyone, I have a question that I simply can not find anywhere else. I have not spoken to a recruiter as this question is more for my friends benifit than mine, though I enjoy learning new things. I have submited my application for Infantry Officer, and my friend who wants to join the CF as well has not yet because we cant find out what occupation, or what the steps are to becoming a medic in a platoon, or squad. "Combat medics" a journal submited by Colonel David Salsibury and Dr. Allen English titeled Prognosis 2020. Link is:

I was wondering if Medical Technician leads to this as a specialization upon completion of the required courses? The US Army has a "combat medic" called 68W, so that was easy to find and understand, but I cant find anything for the CF. Perhaps someone could help me understand how one becomes a medic in a combat arms unit.
Thanks everyone,
Anthony
