A medium specifically communicates with the spirits of deceased humans (channeling on the other hand includes communication with other spiritual entities, as well as with the dead) on behalf of their clients, with the purpose to help them to better deal with their grief and get some closure on losing a loved one.
Most (but not all) mediums know and work through their spirit guide.
The other more secondary function of a medium is to provide evidence of their loved one's continued survival after physical death and by so doing add to the accumulating evidence of life after death.
Not all healers or teachers are mediums, but all mediums are also both healers and teachers.
