As a Medic, the player's primary role is to keep his or her teammates alive using the MedKit.

The Medic is the only class that can passively regenerate health. Therefore, players that are left alone long enough will eventually return to full health by themselves.
- Since Medics cannot heal themselves directly, they should have first priority for health pickups. Ask teammates not to pick up health packs, and heal them in return

Much more than any other class, being an effective Medic relies on good communication with teammates. A Medic should communicate with his or her patient(s) about upcoming dangers and enemy Spies, as they can use the information to deal with the threat. A simple message to teammates can make all the difference between a successful push/defense and death. If possible, use a microphone to communicate such information to teammates.

-* Once the Medi Gun is locked onto its target, the Medic can face any direction without interrupting healing. This leaves players free to watch for [[Spy (Classic)|Spies]] or ambushes in general, as Medics make for high-priority targets.
-* When in combat, a Medic's top priority is to keep as many teammates alive as possible. Always focus on healing teammates that are under the most fire, and be sure to keep an eye out for teammates in the red, and top them up to prevent them from dying.
-* For players expecting to have to fight back against enemies, the Blutsauger is a better choice, as it allows players to regain health at a very fast rate while firing at an enemy. This can forestall or even prevent death in otherwise hopeless situations.
