"Becoming a Medic is a long, studious road but to get this far, you’ve proven you have dedication. In this job, you’ll have many choices to make about your career path but if you knuckle down, work hard and observe you’ll have no trouble deciding what aspect of the medical profession is for you." ~ Join text

I’ve always enjoyed playing the Doctor career from Get To Work but I still felt like I needed more variety for medical careers. I created the Medic Career for Sims 3 and it has branches for General Practitioner (GP), Surgeon and Psychiatrist. So I’ve converted it to Sims 4!

What Makes It Different?
The Medic Career has some degree requirements for joining the career and for future promotions (more below).

Technical Details
The career has 2 levels before branching out to one of three branches: GP, which has an additional 4 levels; Psychiatrist, which has an additional 4 levels; and Surgeon, which has an additional 5 levels. There are 7 work from home assignments available for the first two levels should you wish to use them and there are no daily tasks. There’s also 6 work from home assignments for the Surgeon branch, 5 for the Psychiatrist branch and 6 for the GP branch. Many of these assignments require the Doctor Interaction mod by Cepzid. It’s a lovely little mod and I highly recommend grabbing it. There are no daily tasks.
Finally, there are uniforms for all levels!



The career requires Get To Work and Discover University.

Custom Interactions
In order to provide a better experience when your Sims are working from home, I created a small set of 7 custom interactions on the computer, which are used as Work From Home tasks or promotion requirements. These can be found under the Career/Medical Journal menu on the computer. These are:
– Organise Patient Records
– Read Patient’s Surgical Notes
– Read Psychiatric Papers
– Research New Treatments
– Research Symptoms
– Update Patient Records
– Video Call With Patient

Translations
The career is presently in:
~ English (by me)
~ Russian (by Origamika Group)

Degree Requirements
I’ve never been a fan of career jumps from degrees so I rarely use them in my game. I am, however, a fan of including degrees as promotion requirements so that’s what I’ve done here. The Medic Career actually requires a Biology Degree to get into it at all. It will not show up in the job listings unless your Sim has a Biology degree. Additionally, in order to beyond the first level of the Psychiatry branch, your Sim will also need a Psychology degree. Finally, to progress beyond Level 5 of the Surgeon branch, your Sim will need a Distinguished Biology degree. This means if your Sim only gains a normal Biology degree, they won’t be able to reach the top of the Surgeon branch. This makes the career a little more complex for your Sims!



Career Details: Levels

1. Medical Assistant ~ In your last year at University, it’s been recommended that you take a job as an assistant in the local practice to learn the ropes of the real medical world. As an assistant, you’re going to be keeping the surgery and each consultation room well stocked with instruments to keep the practice running smoothly. You’ll be allowed to sit in on consultations with the doctors and as long as you keep your notes in order, and respect that doctor-patient confidentiality clause, you’ll be ready for your graduation!

2. Post Graduate Medic ~ University is behind you and you feel a sense of pride in how far you’ve come and what you have accomplished. As a post-graduate, you’re needing to get a feel for a real medical environment beyond the confines of the labs at the University. You’ll shadow one of the doctors on duty and get a feel for the job. If you’re lucky, you may be allowed a patient or two of your own. Good luck!

Known Issues


For reasons known only to Sims 4, in spite of completing all work from home tasks, sometimes the boss is disappointed with the work done. I don’t actually know why this happens but, as you can see with the notifications above, you get the money. Just the notification is a bit off. This is a known issue and as yet, there’s no known solution.
