Higher than average academic standards, for obvious reasons; they are trained at Fort Sam Houston Texas.
Yes they do and they do almost all jobs that males do. EG field medics
Yes, they're known as Para Rescue, although the context is a bit different from what an Army combat medic would be.
Army 82nd airbone is a MOS. This is a job in the Army.
Yes the can, some non medic soldiers also get training on starting iv's by going through the combat life savers course. Since the reorganisation of Army MOS structure circa 2001 - 2002, the MOS of Combat Medic has been greatly expanded, and also covers a lot of personnel who previously wouldn't have been classed as combat medics under the old structure (91B was the MOS for a Combat Medic previously - now it's 68W). With the reorganisation, new requirements were put in place for Combat Medics, one of which was that a Combat Medic should hold a basic EMT licence (national registry).
There were no "medics" in 1066. When a man was wounded or fell on the field he usually died there. Sometimes it was fast other times it was a slow painful process. The first battlefield medics were in the American Civil War in 1861.
A "Whiskey" or "Whiskeys" is one (as in 68W - the MOS ID for Army medics) "Doc" is probably the most common.
Simple answer: Yes. The German army in WWII regarded medics much the same as Americans did medics and navy corpsmen. Medics in the German army wore armlets with a red cross on a white background, were generally unarmed and were considered protected under the Geneva Conventions.
A few do not. Most do.
I'm pretty sure. i know medics do.
Yes. Army medics are treating civilians in Haiti, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc, and may be called upon in a crisis to do the same in the US, such as in New Orleans. Additionally, many military medics may get their EMT-P qualification, and work additionally as paramedics in the civil sector, or as paramedics in the EMS for their post.
Army medics typically wear a uniform consisting of a matching set of camouflage or solid-colored trousers and shirt, along with a coat, hat, and boots. They may also wear a medical service patch on their uniform to indicate their role as medics. Additionally, they may carry a medic bag or backpack to carry medical supplies.
There are only two services that have "medics," the US Army and US Air Force. Medical personnel of this type in the Navy are referred to as Corpsmen. There are no medic MOS's in the US Marines. Of all combat medical personnel of enlisted ranks, US Army Ranger medics, and those who serve as US Navy SEALs and USAF Para Rescue are perhaps the most comprehensively trained. Although, all Medics and Corpsmen are heroes in their own right.

According to The US Army Medical Department there were over 20,000 Army medics in World War 2. If you want to know about the Navy Corpsman that served with the Marines you may have to contact the Navy. I could not find a total of Navy Corpsman who served in World War 2. Try the link I added below. Thanks.
