Medicine Feats
Assurance (Medicine) Feat 1

Even in the worst circumstances, you can perform basic medicine tasks. You can forgo rolling a skill check for medicine to instead receive a result of 10 + your proficiency bonus (do not apply any other bonuses, penalties, or modifiers).

FortuneA fortune effect beneficially alters how you roll your dice. You can never have more than one fortune effect alter a single roll. If multiple fortune effects would apply, you have to pick which to use. If a fortune effect and a misfortune effect would apply to the same roll, the two cancel each other out, and you roll normally.

SkillA general feat with the skill trait improves your skills and their actions or gives you new actions for a skill. A feat with this trait can be selected when a class grants a skill feat or general feat. Archetype feats with the skill trait can be selected in place of a skill feat if you have that archetype's dedication feat.
Battle Medicine Feat 1
Source Pathfinder Core Rulebook
Prerequisites trained in Medicine
Requirements You are holding or wearing healer's tools.
You can patch up yourself or an adjacent ally, even in combat. Attempt a Medicine check with the same DC as for Treat Wounds, and restore a corresponding amount of Hit Points; this does not remove the Wounded condition. As with Treat Wounds, you can attempt checks against higher DCs if you have the minimum proficiency rank. The target is then temporarily immune to your Battle Medicine for 1 day.
Editors note Paizo has clarified the usage of worn tools:
Worn tools should only take 1 hand to use, as you only draw the things you need from the kit and not the entire kit. This has been marked for future errata.

Forensic Acumen Feat 1
Source Pathfinder Advanced Player's Guide
Prerequisites trained in Medicine
You understand the principles of forensic medicine, making you better at examining a body to determine the cause of death or injury.
You can perform a forensic examination on a body, as described under Recall Knowledge in the Medicine skill, in half the normal amount of time it would take (to a minimum of 5 minutes).
If you succeed at your check, you can attempt an immediate check to Recall Knowledge to follow up on something you found, with a +2 circumstance bonus.
This check is usually related to the cause of injury or death, such as a Crafting check to identify a poison or weapon that was used or an additional Medicine check to identify a specific disease. If you prefer, you can instead attempt to Recall Knowledge about the type of creature whose body you were examining, using the appropriate skill and gaining the same circumstance bonus.
The circumstance bonus increases to +3 if you have master proficiency in Medicine and +4 if you have legendary proficiency.

Medical Researcher Feat 1
Source Pathfinder Lost Omens: Legends
Prerequisites trained in Medicine
Kassi has taught you not only how to apply medicines with your medical skills but how to craft them as well. When you Craft healer's kits, vaccines, addiction suppressants, antidotes, antiplagues, elixirs of life, or other non-magical medical or healing items, you can use Medicine instead of Crafting.
Traits
This rarity indicates that a rules element is very difficult to find in the game world.

They typically can't be summoned. The DC of Recall Knowledge checks related to these creatures is increased by 5.

Risky Surgery Feat 1
Source Pathfinder Advanced Player's Guide

Stitch Flesh Feat 1
Source Pathfinder Book of the Dead
Prerequisites trained in Medicine
You can use Treat Wounds to restore Hit Points to undead creatures, not just living ones. The techniques you use to do so vary, but all require sutures, bandages, and other tools included in healer's tools. Some conditions that might raise the DC of treating undead's wounds differ from that of living creatures. For instance, the GM might increase the DC if the undead being treated is in a church of Pharasma or the wounds were caused by powerful positive energy.

Chromotherapy Feat 2
Source Pathfinder Dark Archive
Prerequisites expert in Medicine
You firmly believe in the technique of strengthening one's life force, spiritual energies, and bodily fluids through the application of colored light. When using a torch, lantern, or other artificial light source to illuminate an area of dim light or darker, you use a combination of alchemical reagents, medicinal components, and colored lenses to turn that light one of seven colors, allowing you to help an ally recover from persistent damage. You give that target an assisted recovery, but the target can be anywhere within the bright light of the light source instead of needing to be adjacent to you. Ambient bright light (like sunlight) drowns out your artificial illumination and prevents you from using Chromotherapy. The color of the light you choose determines the type of persistent damage from which you help the target recover.
Color | Description |
---|---|
Red | You increase blood flow to heat the body, attempting to end persistent cold damage. |
Orange | You cancel out electric charge, attempting to end persistent electricity damage. |
Yellow | You reduce pain and mental stress, attempting to end persistent mental damage. |
Green | You promote blood flow in a way that helps clot wounds, attempting to end persistent bleed damage. |
Blue | You cool the body, attempting to end persistent fire damage. |
Indigo | You render acids inert, attempting to end persistent acid damage. |
Violet | You purify the body, attempting to end persistent poison damage. |
