The Medic is a Teutonic man of medicine with a tenuous adherence to medical ethics, and is nonetheless the primary healing class of the team. Although the Medic does not possess the best arsenal for direct combat, he can typically still be found near the front-lines, healing wounded teammates while trying to stay out of trouble. When his Medi Gun is focused on a teammate, they will quickly regain health. Unharmed teammates will have their health buffed beyond the normal limit, up to 150%. While healing, the Medic's ÜberCharge bar will fill up until the weapon begins to crackle, at which point he can then activate a deadly charge that makes himself and an ally temporarily invulnerable (or if using the Kritzkrieg, gives his patient 100% Critical hits) for up to 8 seconds.
The Medic is capable of regenerating health over time; the longer a Medic stays out of combat, the faster his health will recover. A damaged Medic will regenerate health at a rate of 3 HP per second, which scales up over the following ten seconds to a maximum of 6 HP per second (though carrying the Blutsauger reduces the regeneration rate from 3–6 to 1–4, and the Medieval Medic item set will raise it to 4–7).
The Medic is voiced by Robin Atkin Downes.

Trivia
- The Medic was the first class of the 9 to receive his own class specific update. This update was prompted due to players feeling that the Medic was underpowered and was therefore the least played class overall. After the Gold Rush/Medic Update was released, the amount of players playing Medic on a regular basis increased dramatically.
- Along with the Pyro, the Medic has not received any new lines, either in-game or in the Meet the Team videos, since Team Fortress 2 was released. According to inside sources, Meet the Medic is slated to be the second to last Meet the Team video to be released.
- The Medic's glasses and hair make an appearance in Worms: Reloaded as one of the selectable hats for the player's worms.
- The Support class of Monday Night Combat has a promo item of the Medic's backpack and the Engineer's hardhat named "Doctor Dispenser".
- Template:W served as the first BLU team Medic.
The Medic's glasses and hair as a selectable Worms: Reloaded worm hat.
