It used to be only Combat Medics who held the 91B MOS.

So, rather than being exclusive to line medics, as it once was, any fobbit working the prescription counter and who never leaves the wire earns a CMB.

They're called "Healthcare Specialist" now, with the reorganisation which took place from 2002 - 2004. Previously, Combat Medics did not even possess a basic EMT licence.
