the medical corps is one of the oldest vocations in the SAF....not forgetting that its the most decorated(even 1st Sergeants there have more overseas medals than elites in the SAF)....its also one of the tools that the SAF has used to show its prowess to the neighbouring countries as past events has shown...
the home of the Medical Corps is in Nee Soon Camp comprising of little subunits such as the School of Military Medicine..and HQ Medical Corps among them....
Generally people and soldiers have a very slack presentation of medics....especially when u are a recruit and seeing tekong medics first hand..but once u head to unit....or see 'actual' ops medics(may it be Plt Medics, Coy Medics, BCS medics) people would get to see what medics usually do and how they contribute to a unit in its whole....
Medics training lasts 9 weeks(Basic Medic Course) to 15 weeks (Modified Spec II)...part of their syllabi include a concise Paramedic Phase and a Military Phase.
generally medics would learn physiology and first responder skills...while SPEC II medics dwell more on Pathophysiology, a more in depth paramedic module and a BCS phase in their course.....
Medics are healthcare proffessionals(although some would beg to differ).....they are practically in charge of a coy's(coy medics) or a platoon's(for platoon medics) well being next to the CSM or PS........Medics carry one of the heaviest loads too and are expected to fight like riflemen when the need arises.... -
Another thing...
The courses taught by SMM are fully accredited by the Paramedic Academy of the Justice Institute of British Columbia in Canada. In 2000, SMM received ISO9002 accreditation for its basic Combat Medic Course. All medics are taught both first responder paramedic skills as well as combat medic skills (as Encik Rockhound said).
The medics are taught the same things as their SCDF counterparts during the paramedic phase. Then nominally, at least, the medics of the SAF are the equals of the SCDF paramedics. There are four levels of paramedics: Level I (corresponding to enlistee medics), Level II (medic specs), Level III (senior medics), and Level IV(the really high-level senior medics).
Upon successful completion of Level III, senior medics are given the paramedic badge. I don't have the image here, but it's basically a red version of the universal paramedic Star of Life symbol on a camouflage background.
Here's what the basic Star of Life looks like: http://northern.vaems.org/history_of_star.htm -
All medics will bear the trademark "railway tracks" on their arms due to IVs :p
and every year there's this AMPT. Mine's coming soon... :s -
Just wondering why medics are always protrayed as slack? I really differ this thinking!
-
its cos of their first impression...wat are everyones first impression of medics?....its the tekong medic depiction and the generalisation that everyone else is the same..Originally posted by gnoik:Just wondering why medics are always protrayed as slack? I really differ this thinking! -
