==The Sims==
Medicine has a somewhat shallow and almost perfectly straight pay curve. Of the ten career tracks in the base game, it had the fourth-highest pay at rank 1 but the fourth-lowest pay at rank 10, and was tied with [[Xtreme]] career for third-easiest to climb with 11 friends required to reach rank 10. Of the 20 career tracks in the base game, ''Livin' Large'', and ''Unleashed'', it still has the fourth-highest pay at rank 1 and has the sixth-lowest pay at rank 10.

== [[The Sims 2]] ==
'''Medicine''' is one of the ten basic [[career]]s in ''The Sims 2''. Its [[career reward]] is ''[[TraumaTime "Incision Precision" Surgical Training Station'']], which can be used to build [[Mechanical]] skill. If ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'' is installed, [[Socialite]]s are likely to be employed in this career. College majors associated with this career are Biology and Physics.

==The Sims 32 (console)==
[[File:Medical career icon.png|left]]'''Medical''' is a [[Career Tracks|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, Do Boss's Paperwork.
 
Depending on the game, Medical will be a profession-career, unless ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions|Ambitions]]'' isn't installed. Otherwise, Sims will only work in the [[rabbit hole]].
 
Beginning at level four, the player receives a medical journal each night to read. Doing so increases the Sim's performance. Each one counts as a book read, though, so bookworms can get a massive number of books to 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.
 
Medical can call a Sim to work at anytime. Using the Take Unpaid Time Off{{vgversion|TS3}} feature will not prevent them from going to work if they are called but it will delay the day they go to work.
 
After reaching Level 10, Sims will have a Special Performance Option: Play Golf, that will fulfill the Fun need and increase relationship with coworkers.
 
After reaching Level 5, Sims will be able to determine the gender of pregnant Sims' babies. If the doctor chooses the option of "Determine Gender of Baby", then an alert will pop up, saying "____ is having a girl/boy!). If the pregnant Sim chooses the option "Ask Gender of Baby", then you'll have to hover over the doctor's head to see the thought bubble pop up, displaying the gender. Either a female or male sign will show up.
 
If the Sim is having twins, however, the doctor will only be able to determine the gender of one of the twins or triplets. And, if the Sim eats watermelons or apples after the gender is determined, the chances of the watermelons and apples working are significantly lowered.

{{TableEnd}}
 
=== 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==
[[File:Medical top.png|thumb|Celebration for medical neighborhood hero.]]
[[File:Doctor career icon.png|left]]
The Medical career track is the only base game career that underwent significant changes in the ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]'' [[expansion pack]] and [[The Sims 3 Deluxe]].
 
With this expansion installed, medical Sims have the option to leave the [[hospital]] from time to time in order to participate in a variety of community activities. If the Sim receives one of these opportunities, they have to briefly leave work to do so and then get back to work immediately after.
===Vaccination Clinics===
Vaccination Clinics take place at a random [[community lot]] such as a [[park]] or [[cemetery|graveyard]]. The Doctor is given four hours to vaccinate as many Sims as possible, and is paid for each individual vaccination. A patient's reaction to the vaccination depends on their personality ([[coward]]ly Sims scream and cry, while [[brave]] Sims don't even flinch). Patients who show up but fail to get vaccinated receive a relationship drop with the Doctor.
 
===Free Clinics===
Free Clinics operate very similarly to Vaccination Clinics. The Doctor has four hours to tend to as many patients as possible and is paid for each individual patient cured. Doctors use a wide array of gadgets and amusing healing techniques to cure patients.
 
===Medical Outreach===
During medical outreach, the doctor is asked to visit a random [[Rabbit holes|rabbit hole]]. After staying for a few hours, the doctor is rewarded with additional career performance.
 
===Local Emergencies===
Sims may also encounter emergencies outside of regular work hours. Sims dining out will be able to choke and they will need medical assistance.<ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/thesims3ambitions/news.html?sid=6259991&mode=previews The Sims 3: Ambitions Updated Q&A - Heroic Careers]</ref>
 
===House Calls===
After a doctor finishes working at the hospital, they can make a house call to follow up on one of their patients. After calling the hospital, the doctor is assigned a random person to visit. The doctor must now visit the patient's house and perform the follow up treatment. Once the doctor is finished, he/she writes a bill for the patient (which most patients look at in shock). House calls are a great way to make extra money.

;Note<nowiki>:</nowiki>
There is a glitch with Free Clinics and Vaccination Clinics: when the time is up the unserved patients may complain that they waited too long and go home. This will greatly decrease the Sim's job performance and may even cause the Sim to get demoted or fired if their performance drops too low. The job performance meter will drop between 10 and 15 points for each unserved patient.
 
==''Ambitions'' Career Rewards==
* Medical Trophy of Honor: Complete 3 Vaccination Clinics
* Medical Trophy of Valor: Complete 10 Medical Outreaches
* Medal of Mending: Diagnose 40 sims
* Tending Trinket: Help 10 sims in Local Emergencies
* Medical Key to The Town: Reach Career Level 10 (May not be Provided for Some Time)
* Skeletal Endowment: Complete 5 Free Clinics after reaching Career Level 10

==The Sims 3==
[[File:Medical career icon.png|left]]'''Medical''' is a [[Career Tracks|career track]] in ''[[The Sims 3]]''.
 
How to apply: Directly at workplace, Newspaper, Computer, or Upload Resume.{{vgversion|TS3:UL}}
 
Performance options: Business As Usual, Take It Easy, Work Hard, Watch TV in Ready Room, Meet Medical Personnel, Do Boss's Paperwork.
 
Depending on the game, Medical will be a profession-career, unless ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions|Ambitions]]'' isn't installed. Otherwise, Sims will only work in the [[rabbit hole]].
 
Beginning at level four, the player receives a medical journal each night to read. Doing so increases the Sim's performance. Each one counts as a book read, though, so bookworms can get a massive number of books to 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.
 
Medical can call a Sim to work at anytime. Using the Take Unpaid Time Off{{vgversion|TS3}} feature will not prevent them from going to work if they are called but it will delay the day they go to work.
 
After reaching Level 10, Sims will have a Special Performance Option: Play Golf, that will fulfill the Fun need and increase relationship with coworkers.
 
After reaching Level 5, Sims will be able to determine the gender of pregnant Sims' babies. If the doctor chooses the option of "Determine Gender of Baby", then an alert will pop up, saying "____ is having a girl/boy!). If the pregnant Sim chooses the option "Ask Gender of Baby", then you'll have to hover over the doctor's head to see the thought bubble pop up, displaying the gender. Either a female or male sign will show up.
 
If the Sim is having twins, however, the doctor will only be able to determine the gender of one of the twins or triplets. And, if the Sim eats watermelons or apples after the gender is determined, the chances of the watermelons and apples working are significantly lowered.

===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.
 
===Bugs===
 
* When giving Free Vaccination Clinic at Graveyard, player may also be required to vaccinate ghosts too.
* Occult NPCs such as '''SimBot''', '''Genie''' and '''Ghost''' will need to be vaccinated too even though these lifestates are not biological and are not supposed to be sick.
 
===''Ambitions'' career expansion===
[[File:Medical top.png|thumb|Celebration for medical neighborhood hero.]]
[[File:Doctor career icon.png|left]]
The Medical career track is the only base game career that underwent significant changes in the ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]'' [[expansion pack]] and [[The Sims 3 Deluxe]].
 
With this expansion installed, medical Sims have the option to leave the [[hospital]] from time to time in order to participate in a variety of community activities. If the Sim receives one of these opportunities, they have to briefly leave work to do so and then get back to work immediately after.
 
====Vaccination clinics====
Vaccination Clinics take place at a random [[community lot]] such as a [[park]] or [[cemetery|graveyard]]. The Doctor is given four hours to vaccinate as many Sims as possible, and is paid for each individual vaccination. A patient's reaction to the vaccination depends on their personality ([[coward]]ly Sims scream and cry, while [[brave]] Sims don't even flinch). Patients who show up but fail to get vaccinated receive a relationship drop with the Doctor.
 
====Free clinics====
Free Clinics operate very similarly to Vaccination Clinics. The Doctor has four hours to tend to as many patients as possible and is paid for each individual patient cured. Doctors use a wide array of gadgets and amusing healing techniques to cure patients.
 
====Medical outreach====
During medical outreach, the doctor is asked to visit a random [[Rabbit holes|rabbit hole]]. After staying for a few hours, the doctor is rewarded with additional career performance.
 
====Local emergencies====
Sims may also encounter emergencies outside of regular work hours. Sims dining out will be able to choke and they will need medical assistance.<ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/thesims3ambitions/news.html?sid=6259991&mode=previews The Sims 3: Ambitions Updated Q&A - Heroic Careers]</ref>
 
====House calls====
After a doctor finishes working at the hospital, they can make a house call to follow up on one of their patients. After calling the hospital, the doctor is assigned a random person to visit. The doctor must now visit the patient's house and perform the follow up treatment. Once the doctor is finished, he/she writes a bill for the patient (which most patients look at in shock). House calls are a great way to make extra money.

There is a glitch with Free Clinics and Vaccination Clinics: when the time is up the unserved patients may complain that they waited too long and go home. This will greatly decrease the Sim's job performance and may even cause the Sim to get demoted or fired if their performance drops too low. The job performance meter will drop between 10 and 15 points for each unserved patient.
 
====Career rewards====
* Medical Trophy of Honor: Complete 3 Vaccination Clinics
* Medical Trophy of Valor: Complete 10 Medical Outreaches
* Medal of Mending: Diagnose 40 sims
* Tending Trinket: Help 10 sims in Local Emergencies
* Medical Key to The Town: Reach Career Level 10 (May not be Provided for Some Time)
* Skeletal Endowment: Complete 5 Free Clinics after reaching Career Level 10
 
==The Sims 4==
The '''Doctor''' career is one of the three [[career tracks]] introduced in ''[[The Sims 4: Get to Work]]''. Like the other ''Get to Work'' careers, Doctor is a [[profession]], which are active careers where Sims can be followed to work. Also like the other ''Get to Work'' careers, Sims who are Doctors can be called to work at anytime.
While not initially present in the base game, the medicine career track returns as an [[Profession|active career]] in ''[[The Sims 4: Get to Work]]'' known as the Doctor career. Due to this being an active career, Sims can unlock new interactions as they level up. Just as other active careers, the Sim needs the fill up the meter on the upper left hand corner by completing the tasks right below it. In general, the tasks revolve around conducting tests on the patient (e.g. taking temperature, x-ray scan), diagnosing a patient's illness, treating the illness, and occasionally attending to emergencies in (e.g. patient collapses while queuing) and out of (e.g. house call, outbreak) the hospital. In order not to lose performance points (e.g. from good to average), the Sim needs to end the day by doing at least an ''Adequate'' job (i.e. first section of the meter being filled).

===Career levels===
Description: "Who ''doesn’t'' want to be held responsible for another Sim's health and well-being? A Doctor who can advance in the medical ranks will find themselves rewarded with objects like a '''Standing Surgical Light''' and a '''Full-Sized Skeleton''' to brighten up the home nursery. To make the deal extra sweet, you'll be able to unlock your very own '''Hospital Scrubs''' and '''Patient Gowns''' so you can play Doctor at home!"
