According to Band of Brothers which was based primarily on the memoirs of Richard Winters, a platoon leader who became the company commander and then battalion commander of a unit in the 101st Airborne during WWII the medics in his unit were chosen (seemingly at random) to become medics after basic combat training. After going through medic school they returned to the unit to attend airborne school. That being said the airborne had then as it does today medics and medical units.
