Medicine

The Medicine Career Track is a career that deals with human anatomy. It is one of the 10 basic careers in The Sims and The Sims 2.

The Sims

 * 1
 * Medical Technician
 * Entry-level, low-playing grunt work in a big medical lab--but a way to test your aptitude and interest in exploring a doctor's world. Taking X-rays, logging samples, preparing test results are among your duties.
 * §200
 * 9:00-15:00 [[Image:09001500.png]]
 * None
 * 0
 * 2
 * Paramedic
 * You're attending medical school and working part time as a paramedic. You'll need to avoid fatigue while allowing time for study and riding in an ambulance on the night shift. To keep your vehicle and equipment maintained, work on your mechanical skill as much as you can.
 * §275
 * 23:00-5:00 [[Image:23000500.png]]
 * None
 * 0
 * 3
 * Nurse
 * You've made it through med school, and secured your first job at Sim City General Hospital. This is a physically demanding job and will require good body skill. Work on your bedside manner to get those patient referrals.
 * §340
 * 9:00-15:00 [[Image:09001500.png]]
 * Mechanical: 2
 * 0
 * 4
 * Intern
 * There's an "M.D." after your name, but it seems you spend more time doing paperwork and changing bandages than saving lives. Pay special care to develop your mechanical and logic skills; doctors must be multi-talented. The hours are steady, though, so you're earning more.
 * §410
 * 9:00-18:00 [[Image:09001800.png]]
 * Mechanical: 2 Body: 2
 * 2
 * 5
 * Resident
 * You've been promoted to a night shift residency in the Emergency Room. This is an obviously stressful position, so make sure home is a comforting place. You'll need fun, rest, and proper meals, or you won't succeed. If you work on the proper diagnoses, care for those tough cases, and develop a good bedside manner, your promotion to General Practitioner will come quickly.
 * §480
 * 9:00-16:00[[Image:09001600.png]]
 * Mechanical: 3 Body: 2 Logic: 2
 * 3
 * 6
 * GP
 * An altruistic streak has compelled you to join a Sim neighborhood clinic as a GP. The pay won't be high, but you'll help a lot of less fortunate Simcitizens through broken bones, pregnancies, and measles. You will be handling a lot yourself, but don't slack off on the skill-building--you may want a different job someday.
 * §550
 * 10:00-18:00 [[Image:10001800.png]]
 * Mechanical: 3 Body: 2 Logic: 4 Charisma: 1
 * 4
 * 7
 * Specialist
 * Congratulations. You've "hung up your shingle", gaining a traditional work schedule and golf game occasionally. Now you have more time to maintain a happy home and maybe a happy family? Work on your charisma if higher steps in this career track seem appealing.
 * §625
 * 10:00-16:00 [[Image:10001600.png]]
 * Mechanical: 4 Body: 4 Logic: 4 Charisma: 2 Creativity: 1
 * 5
 * 8
 * Surgeon
 * One of the elite, with an income advance to go with it. The job demands a rested, calm individual, so watch your emotional levels, eat right, and get plenty of sleep. And, you'll need home study time, especially in the areas of creativity and logic, to keep left brain skills sharp in the operating room.
 * §700
 * 10:00-16:00 [[Image:10001600.png]]
 * Mechanical: 4 Body: 5 Logic: 6 Charisma: 3 Creativity: 2
 * 7
 * 9
 * Medical Researcher
 * You created a new vaccination serum in Sim City's most advanced research clinic. You've now joined the ranks of the highest paid researchers in the world. If you decide to go for the top bucks, continue the skill building path up to Chief of Hospital Staff, where you get a cut of the profits.
 * §775
 * 9:00-16:00 [[Image:09001600.png]]
 * Mechanical: 5 Body: 6 Logic: 8 Charisma: 4 Creativity: 3
 * 9
 * 10
 * Chief of Staff
 * You are one of the most respected physicians in Sim City. You spend office hours at the hospital. You are now a part owner, and are making large profits keeping your fellow Sims in good health.
 * §850

The Sims 3
Medical is a career track in The Sims 3.

Work place: Hospital

How to apply: Directly at work place, Newspaper, Computer

Performance options: Business As Usual, Take It Easy, Work Hard, Watch TV in Ready Room, Meet Medical Personnel.

Beginning at level four, you receive a medical journal each night to read- doing so increases your performance. Each one counts as a book read, though, so bookworms can get a massive number of books read if they keep at the medical career.

"Random events" are very common in this career track. Sims will often meet new personnel, gain job performance, and increase relations with their boss randomly during operations, patient escapes, days with few patients, etc. These events are very useful for advancing.

Research
Research can be performed by reading Medical Journals to increase job performance. A Sim brings Medical Journals home from work starting from the 4th Medical career level, Intern. Each journal appears in the Sim's inventory and has a "read" option. It is read like a regular book. Once completed, the next time the Sim goes to work, he/she will gain a performance boost.

Ambitions career expansion


The Medical career track is the only base game career facing significant changes in the upcoming The Sims 3: Ambitions expansion pack.

With this expansion installed, medical Sims will be called to health emergencies outside of the hospital. Sims may also encounter emergencies outside of regular work hours. Sims dining out will be able to choke and they will need medical assistance. Doctors will also be able to inoculate the community against disease by setting up free clinics, or if they would like to be less ethical they can dose sims with 'experimental medicines'.
