The Medical Career Field Team serves multiple functions aside from being Subject Matter Experts for the Medical Civilian Corps. The CFT provides career field management and development advisory for all civilian personnel assigned to the Air Force Medical Service and to support the AFMS Career Field Manager in Air Force-wide career management and force development of the civilian inventory.

The roles of the CFT cover four distinct areas:

1. Renew the Force
2. Care for the Force
3. Develop the Force
4. Sustain the Force

Civilian Liaisons are at all levels of AFMS, providing onsite strategic consultation and partnering services for a wide variety of classification, recruitment and staffing needs. The CL helps forecast future workforce requirements, advises on skills and affirmative employment gaps, assists in developing short and long range staffing plans, and advises on multiple classification and recruitment strategies and pay flexibilities.

In addition, the CL serves as the interface between the organization, the local Civilian Personnel Section and the Air Force Personnel Center for a variety of Human Resource issues, such as certificates that do not meet a member's needs, pay issues, corrections to HR records, classification of positions, and Priority Placement Program matches, qualifications disputes and submission of Request for Personnel Actions.

The CL also assists in structuring the organization and meeting organizational needs. They assist in developing or rewriting position descriptions, and provide classification advisories. When a member receives a selection certificate, the CL assists in determining if the selection certificate meets the member's need, helps expedite the selection, and follows through with the job offer and entrance on duty process for the new employee.
