EA's Doctor career, for comparison
The official Doctor career comes with the Get to Work expansion and is an active career: you travel to the hospital with your Sim. EA Help lists ten ranks.
| Rank | Title | Pay per day | To be promoted |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Medical Intern | §144 | Attend work |
| 2 | Orderly | §184 | Treat 2 patients |
| 3 | Medical Assistant | §280 | Treat 3 patients |
| 4 | Medical Technologist | §392 | Diagnose and treat a patient |
| 5 | Assistant Nurse | §680 | Diagnose and treat 2 patients |
| 6 | R.N. | §950 | Diagnose and treat 3 patients |
| 7 | Doctor-General Practitioner | §1,350 | Perform surgery on 3 patients |
| 8 | Medical Specialist | §1,950 | Deliver a baby |
| 9 | Surgeon | §2,450 | Diagnose and treat 5 patients |
| 10 | Chief of Staff | §2,800 | Top rank |
To skip a rank, open the cheat box with Ctrl+Shift+C, enter testingcheats true, then careers.promote doctor. Repeat it to climb further.
Mods that add to EA's Doctor career
| Mod | Creator | What it adds | Needs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chief of Medicine Aspiration | KiaraSims4Mods | A four-tier aspiration built on the Doctor career: reach career and Logic levels, treat patients, perform surgery, deliver a baby. Rewards §5,000 and the Beloved trait. Updated March 11, 2026 | Get to Work |
| Healthcare Redux | adeepindigo | A modular health system for the whole town: illnesses, injuries, allergies, check-ups every 21 days, specialists booked by phone, four insurance plans and hospital procedures | Get to Work, plus the helper mods listed on its page |
| GTW Health Overhaul | adeepindigo | Reworks Get to Work's illnesses into three stages, with medication and doctor visits. A lighter option than Healthcare Redux | Get to Work |
Healthcare Redux does not change the Doctor career itself. It gives your doctor Sims a town full of patients with real conditions. It includes serious illness and death by disease in optional modules, so read the module list and install only what suits your game. If you run both adeepindigo mods, the GTW Health Overhaul page says to install only its core files. Both are name-your-own-price on itch.io.

FAQ
Is there a doctor career mod that works without Get to Work?
Yes. Doctor career by choossims is listed as base game, and so are Delimaci's Nurse Career and midnitetech's Pharmacist Career.
Can I make EA's Doctor career a rabbit hole?
The mods on this page do not change EA's career. They are separate rabbit hole careers that you join in place of it, so your Sim leaves for the shift and you stay home.
What is the cheat to get promoted as a doctor?
Turn on cheats with testingcheats true, then enter careers.promote doctor. Each use moves your Sim up one rank in EA's Doctor career.
Is there a surgeon career mod?
Gerson's Doctor Career has a Surgeon branch with plastic, trauma, cardio and neuro surgeon levels. Its last update was in November 2024, so test it before relying on it.
