[QUOTE=jdcavo;42811]Medical PIC is a requirement for the vessel, not on any individual, it’s not required to get a management level STCW. The person in charge of medical care, whoever it is, on a vessel needs to have it. The person i8n charge doesn’t have to be formally designated such, as in an ISM program. It can be by practice alone, e.g. who has the key to the medical locker? Who gets called when someone is hurt? etc.[/QUOTE]
This brings me to ask. Which vessels require PIC and which are exempt or allowed to have a lower level of expertise? I am just wondering if I was previously under-qualified for the position I held. I was designated Medical Officer and was definitely first person called, had the keys etc.

Naw just kidding, nice report… It sounds like you got a lot out of it and a great experience…Too bad that Dr didn’t let you stitch that guy up, that would have been cool…
