PDRMN Medical Corp
This corp is distinguished by their light blue-green jumpsuits or strips. They man the many medical centers and surgeries on board, even though they are mostly automated. They are far more trained that most landside doctors, as they are capable of doing many common surgeries without computer assistance.
Most of the medical corp is made up of corpsemen, trained by the navy. However, many of the higher level members are actually fully fledged doctors, having taken some time to train as such. This training typically takes place before they join the navy, and they join as officers, but a corpsman can take a couple years off to train as a doctor and return as an officer and a doctor. The medical ward of a Dreadnought or Battleship is like a small hospital, so many of the same operating principles apply.

Qualifications
Typically need an 8 month training program to start, then will continue training throughout their career.
Duties
Act as a nurse, medical technician or doctor while aboard and off-board ship. Heal all people who need it.
Responsibilities
Daily, around an 8 hour shift in sickbay, doing whatever needs done. This is typically in addition to around 2-3 hours of administrative work required per day.
Benefits
High class, and well respected medical training.
Accoutrements & Equipment
Enlisted personnel wear a light blue-green jumpsuit, officers wear a single stripe of it on their left shoulder. The jumpsuits are not scrubs, but it is a symbolic link. In an emergency, they are highly self cleaning, and do all for a reset of colour vision, not that most corpsemen still have biological eyes.
In a typical tour of duty they will use common medical equipment. They are, like every member of the navy, trained on the use of a PDRMN Coil Pistol
