The Sims 3 Ambitions Guide Walkthrough Careers
Career Progression
Original Activity
The Medical career is one of the most stressful careers, so to advance, you need activities in the Sim's life to counteract the Stressed Out moodlet.
Mood is a major factor in promotions, so be sure to sleep when possible (the Sleep in Ready Room tone helps out with this) and have an activity that lowers tension, such as reading, exercise, or socializing.
As soon as you reach the Medical Intern promotion, get ready for a hectic schedule. The Sim gets a beeper and has to come into work at odd hours.
Shifts start growing, too, so be ready to spend lots of time at the hospital as you work farther up the promotion ladder. Medical Interns earn the Give Medical Advice social, which helps out pregnant Sims.
When you reach the Medical Intern position, you start receiving medical journals, too.
These are critical for future advancement because the number of journals read is a metric for deciding promotions alongside mood and Logic skill. In your off time, be sure to read these medical journals because the game keeps track of this statistic.
At the Resident level, Sims get two new socials: Give Good Medical Advice and Brag About Being a Doctor. The Give Good Medical Advice has a greater benefit to expectant mothers—in fact, the Medical Sim can even deduce the sex of the baby.
Community Activities
Upon reaching level 3 of the Medical career, Sims can now perform activities around the community just like the Ghost Hunter or Firefighter. Events like free clinics and vaccinations pop out on map view.
When you report to the community lot where these events are to take place, your Sim is typically swarmed by neighbors.
Now, you must perform as many of the necessary interactions on these Sims as possible before the time limit of the event expires. The more Sims you get to, the better your do at the activity.
If there is time in the work day following the activity, return to the hospital to complete your shift, manage tones to meet promotion metrics, and get paid.
Use map view to identify and travel to medical events in the community.

Medical Sims are offered opportunities during the course of the career that result in payouts and increased relationships.
Some of these opportunities are single events while others are chained together. Upon completing the chain, your Sim is rewarded.

Medical Outreach
Throughout the Medical career, your Sim is presented with events at local venues (those where you disappear) to confer about medical issues, discuss hospital business, or perform clinics.
To complete these operations, you only need to click on the venue and choose to take on the Medical Outreach activity. Your Sim then travels to the location and, after several hours, emerges to positive results.
Vaccinations
Vaccination clinics occur at community lots. When you choose to fulfill this activity, your Sim travels to the designated lot and sets up shop. Within minutes, Sims start crowding around you to get their shots.
Click on waiting Sims and choose the Vaccinate interaction to "stack" them into your action queue. Your Sim then goes down the list, giving shots to each Sim until time is up.
Free Clinics
Free clinics are very similar to vaccination jobs. When you go to the community lot where the hospital is sponsoring a free clinic, Sims gather around. Click on waiting Sims and choose Diagnose to add them to the queue.
During the hours of the clinic, your Sim attends to as many patients as possible. Your Sim holds up diagnostic equipment like a portable x-ray machine and deduces the potential problem.
After a few minutes, the diagnosis is made and a treatment is administered. The target of the treatment is happy, boosting your LTR.
Local Emergencies
When Medical Sims are at a community lot (not a venue where they disappear for hours), there is a slight chance they may encounter a Sim having an emergency, such as choking.
You receive a message stating that a Sim is having an emergency. You now have a Medical Attention interaction on the suffering Sim. Your Sim performs whatever is needed to save the impromptu patient.
Onlookers at this point cheer, giving the Medical Sim increased relationships with all who watched.
