Level	Name	Description	Days Off	Hours	Pay	Promotional Bonus	Skills Required	Friends Required
1	Emergency Medical Technician	Entry level, low paying, 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, and preparing test results are among your duties.	S M T W T F S	8:00 - 14:00	§280	N/A	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 to study and riding in an ambulance on the night shift. Keep your vehicle and equipment clean and well-maintained.	S M T W T F S	20:00 - 2:00	§385	§770	Cleaning: 1	0
3	Nurse	You've made it through medical school and secured your first job at SimCity General Hospital. This is a mentally as well as psychically demanding job. Work on your logic skill and your bedside manner to get those patient referrals.	S M T W T F S	7:00 - 14:00	§476	§952	Logic: 1 Cleaning: 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.	S M T W T F S	9:00 - 18:00	§574	§1,148	Logic: 2 Cleaning: 4 Mechanical: 2	1
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.	S M T W T F S	18:00 - 1:00	§672	§1,344	Logic: 3 Cleaning: 5 Mechanical: 3	2
6	General Practitioner	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.	S M T W T F S	10:00 - 18:00	§770	§1,540	Logic: 4 Cleaning: 6 Mechanical: 4	3
7	Specialist	Congratulations. You've "hung up your shingle", gaining a traditional work schedule and a golf game occasionally. Now you have more time to maintain a happy home and maybe a happy family. Keep making friends outside the home and building up your skills, if higher levels in this career track seem appealing.	S M T W T F S	10:00 - 16:00	§875	§1,750	Logic: 5 Cleaning: 7 Mechanical: 7	4
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 some home study time, especially in logic, to keep left brain skills sharp in the operating room.	S M T W T F S	10:00 - 16:00	§980	§1,960	Logic: 7 Cleaning: 8 Mechanical: 9	5
9	Medical Researcher	You created a new vaccination serum in SimCity'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.	S M T W T F S	11:00 - 18:00	§1,356	§2,712	Logic: 8 Cleaning: 9 Mechanical: 9	7
10	Chief of Staff	You are one of the most respected physicians in SimCity. 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.	S M T W T F S	9:00 - 16:00	§1,488	§2,976	Logic: 10 Cleaning: 10 Mechanical: 9	9

[edit] Teen/Elder Promotion Levels

Level	Name	Description	Days Off	Hours	Pay	Promotional Bonus	Skills Required	Friends Required
1	Nursing Home Attendant	Glamorous it's not, but it's a real job taking care of people in their time of need, and it's a foot in the door of the medical community. Impress the nurses with your bedside manner and see if you can't find your way into the hallowed halls of SimCity General.	S M T W T F S	15:00 - 18:00	§65	N/A	None	0
2	Orderly	The pay is certainly better than at the nursing home, but the constant flow of patients means the work of a hospital attendant is never done. Sometimes it seems as though the ambulances may never stop coming, but the lives those EMTs lead certainly seem like good ones . . .	S M T W T F S	15:00 - 18:00	§87	§174	Cleaning: 1	1
3	Emergency Medical Technician	Entry level, low paying 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.	S M T W T F S	19:00 - 22:00	§125	§250	Cleaning: 2 Mechanical: 2	3

[edit] 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.

[edit] Opportunities

This article is a stub. You can help The Sims Wiki by expanding it.

One of the questions you can be asked has something to do with Bloatyheaditis and Cartoongasitis. CLICK BLOATYHEADITIS. It will result in a permanent raise of §11 per hour.

[edit] 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.
