Hi Folks,
Although this may have been discussed in other threads I can't (even with the search option) find anything that is current.
My understanding is that the Unit Medical Sections or Teams were brought under a more general umbrella at the start of the Afghanistan war, but now that operations are changing there might be the return of Med Techs to front-line units (ie: RCR, PPCLI, R22R) to manage medical needs on an on-going more personal basis.
Is this correct and how would it be employed?
I am interested in becoming a Med Tech and am hopefully coming in to the Forces soon bringing my 18 years of paramedic background (having worked full time in the GTA), and would like to initially pursue field operations to better acquaint myself with that aspect of the trade.
Thank you for any input you can offer.
