just what the title asked is there a medic class or archetype, that i saw or was that a dream?

There's a rogue archetype from Drop Dead Studios.

And a psionic tactician archetype from Dreamscarred Press.

You mean just a generic hp healing? Cleric, as well as a lot of other classes, fit that bill.

The nature of the game makes such a move a bit suboptimal though. Fights usually last 4 rounds, and you better serve your team performing other actions (buffing, debuffing, attacking, summoning, etc.). Healing is more of a last resort- at least during a fight.

Healing would also be less attention intensive in comparison to most videogame medics (who usually have to keep track of everyone's condition in real time). So in game healers get a derogatory term as 'heal bots' from players since they usually don't end up getting drawn into the fight if they just spam some cure spells every round. It is usually seen as "oh man, do I have to play the healbot?

If you meant something specifically named medic... doesn't appear to be so. You tend to get archetypes with stuff like 'merciful healer' or the like, but no direct medic.

There's also a trait with the word "medic" in its name.

Merciful Healer cleric?
Hospitaler Paladin?

Dreamscarred Press are working on a Medic class as part of their Path of War product line. Might have been that.

Well there's the oracle/cleric multiclass, heals so well it's not a complete waste of time.

[Elegant Egotist]

Life oracle kind of seems to fit the bill too, it's super good at healing!

[The Shaman]

The chirurgeon alchemist and to a point the vivisectionist alchemist can work as "medics". Imo a healing patron witch with the herbal witch archetype performs the role well, but with a more "magical" feel to it.

[Baval]

Anachronistic Adventures: The Investigator can become a completely mundane medic.

Funny enough, I've always seen them as an incredibly powerful undead killer that just has Channeled Smite as a feat tax.

I actually really like combining those two archetypes

[Eryx_UK]

Cleric probably fills that role best of all.
