**updated August Patch**
This career now has SEVEN tracks to choose from: Cardiology, Pediatrics, Plastic Surgery, Dermatology, Neurology (new) Obstetrics (new) and Emergency Room doctor (new)
Success in the medical field is only found by the most intelligent, ambitious sims. Medical school is filled with studying and no pay, Residency has long hours, and the medical profession is all about honing in skills and building relationships with your patients. This is a difficult, yet rewarding career that many will fail in. Will your sim sink or float?
I wanted to make this realistic, so, much like real medicine, this is a difficult career track to master. Sims start out as Med Students with no pay, so that’s a good time for a Young Adult to stay at home with mom and dad or move in with a working roommate. Then, sims get promoted to Resident, where they get a small amount of pay before they choose which track they want to go through. This took a great deal of work, so I hope you enjoy it!
Med School Student Level I
Welcome to medical school! You’ve dreamed about this day your whole life, and here it is. Don’t get too excited, though. Before you get to residency you have to gain skills and reach the top of your class. Make sure you make good relationships with your professors and fellow students.

Cardiologists deal with disorders of the heart. They diagnose and work with heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and many others. They perform surgery, and take care of patients post surgery. Sims entering this career must have logic skill and focus. There are lives on the line!
Rookie Cardiologist Your first job! You’re a newbie, so your patients don’t exactly seem all that comfortable with you, so make sure you keep developing your logic and charisma skills to help put them at ease. Your patients range from babies to elders with heart defects, heart failure, and many other problems. It’s a very stressful career, especially at the beginning, but it will get easier!

A career as a pediatrician can be a tricky one. Not only do you have to be intelligent and focused, but you have to be able to be silly to help those little angels feel more comfortable with you. You’ll be diagnosing and treating common illnesses, and sometimes not so common ones. You’re also in charge of teaching parents everything you’ve learned about parenting and child development. These little ones are in your hands.
Rookie Pediatrician You’re a newbie in the office, so parents are a little hesitant to send their children to you. Make sure you make a good impression with your coworkers and people in your community, because word-of-mouth is what will get you patients!

Plastic Surgery Track
Beauty is the name of the game as a plastic surgeon, but don’t think that’s it. Like alL MDs, plastic surgeons have to be extremely intelligent and sharp to succeed. With this specific career, patients expect their doctors to look and present themselves a certain way, so make sure you keep up your fitness and charisma skills, as well as your logic skill. Plastic surgeons often do botox, liposuction, face lifts, tattoo removal, and laser hair removal, but that’s not all. They must have a wide-range of skills because many of their patients desire multiple, um, enhancements.
Rookie Hair Remover ZAP! That’s the sound of a laser burning hair off of a patient’s leg. You’re working in the laser hair removal wing of the hospital, so many days you’ll come home smelling like a burnt pile of, well, hair.

Obstetrics Obstetricians care for pregnant sims, as well as deliver babies in both typical and emergency situations. They are surgeons, so they are able to aid with natural birth, as well as perform C-sections when necessary. Sims who choose to go down this career track must have logic skill, as well as parenting skill, because a large portion of their job is teaching new parents the ropes of childrearing.
Rookie Obstetrician You’re new to the surgical floor, so pregnant sims are a little weary to hire you as their obstetrician. Make sure to advance in your logic skill to put their fears at ease by proving you know what you’re doing! It’s also time to start studying up on your parenting skill since many of your patients are new parents without a clue as to what to do when their bundle of joy arrives!

ER Doctor ER doctors work in a fast-paced, highly stressful atmosphere. Sometimes, the ailment is minor like a broken bone, but other times it’s extremely serious, like a gunshot wound.
