The Sims 3 Ambitions Guide › Walkthrough › Careers

Medical Career

The Medical career is not for a Sim who likes to keep a strict schedule.

As this career develops, the schedule turns chaotic and occasionally disruptive thanks to the unpredictable needs of patients at the local hospital and around town.

If you don't mind the idea of being pulled into work in the middle of the night, then the Medical career's rewards may be worth the potential inconvenience. Especially the final reward for becoming a World Renowned Surgeon...

Note

The revamped Medical career is a hybrid between the new professions system and the original career track where you disappear inside a venue for several hours.

You use tones to direct work while at the hospital, but also must go around town and attend to off-site activities, like free clinics and vaccinations. This career does not use XP to give promotions.

Work Location: Hospital, various locations

How Hired: Report to hospital, answer computer ad, answer newspaper ad

Work Week: The Medical career schedule is all over the place. Some positions have normal working hours while others are overnight shifts.

Salary Progression: The Medical career pays extremely well, especially in the upper levels.
