Medics in WW2 did the same thing medics did in all of the other wars--they helped the soldiers in the units they were assigned to. Their job was to go into battle with the soldiers and to treat wounds as they happened and to help the wounded soldiers get back from the battlefront. When the soldiers were not in battle, they acted as medical personnel to treat any minor wounds or problems the soldiers might have had.

Can medics be shot?
At one time medics were considered non-combatants and were not supposed to be shot. In World War 2 this standard seems to have changed on the Russian Front and in the Pacific. I am told that after the war US medics began carrying pistols, and today they carry assault rifles. It may be one of those gray areas like jaywalking. Medics are not supposed to be shot in war, but everybody does it anyway.
