The main job of the Medics is to heal those injured in the pack. Any member who happens to get injured or ill, or to help care for pups or pregnant females, it's their job to tend to them. Medics should know all herbs and how they're used correctly, as well as how to heal specific wounds - the best form of care. With this rank you're required to be dedicated and willing, as well as friendly to your patients. Knowledge and dedication is extremely important for a Medic, they're the 'Doctors' of the pack, and therefore a great duty of care rests on their paws.
However, their only job isn't to heal. Medics are advised to train any forms of training session; whether it be mental or physical - all forms of training will do them well. Sparring is advised also, to help Medics grasp the concept of how to defend themselves, which they may need any time throughout their life.

Curer
SCu I >> III
Basic of the medic branch in general. Here you will learn the basic herbs and tools of trade you will need to complete your job of choice. You may also attend heals at this time as well to get a feel for things and how things are done. At this rank you may assist higher ranked medics within the branch and also gather said herbs and tools for the pack.
Minder
SM IV >> X
The Minders focuses more on the care of pups and helping out pregnant mothers. They'll act as midwives and help females whilst they're pregnant; as well as giving them regular check-ups and helping with the birth. They'll also help care for the children, like babysitters. They'll tell them stories, play games with them - generally keep them entertained and safe.
Or
Oculist
SOc IV >> VIII
The Oculists are the ones who focus more so on healing rather than taking care of pups. They'll need a greater knowledge of healing as not only will they need to deal with minor wounds such as bruises, scraped and such, they'll also need to deal with assisting higher ranks with dislocations, breaks - and amputations.
Shaman
SX IX >> X
The higher ranked Oculists. These wolves deal with the dislocations, breaks, amputations, and near death experiences. They can assist with leading into the after life. They may break the bad news to their patients if it requires. Shamans may also deal with the lower tiered jobs if no others are available. They may also supervise heals of those who are not confident enough.
Rit Zien
RZ I or Rit Zien
The Rit Zienis responsible for the entirety of the medic branch. They will oversee the progress of those within the branch and provide guidance to those below them. They do not think of themselves as superiors. It will be their job to help train up the lower tiered medics and answer any questions given to them. Those who are not able to be saved will often times be put down with or soothed to death (With character owners permission of course). These wolves are the only ones able to perform said duties.
