Accepted Change the name of the new Medical Sr. CL4 role

[ArcherOfLegend]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
To change the name of the new medical Snr. Cl4 role to something more appropriate.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
No!

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Clear delineation of positions
- Changing the name to something more appropriate would align better with the seriousness of the role.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- Dont think there would be any.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:

Ok so, admittedly, the new roles are a godsend for departmental management and progression, and I would like to start this suggestion off by thanking everyone involved in the creation and roll out of these new roles.

With that being said, the name for the new Medical Snr. CL4 role is awful. Medical Practitioner is a very vague term that encompasses every single person who practices medicine. Any licensed health professional would be a medical practitioner, which would include everything from your CL2 Doctor to your CL4 DoM to the Nu-7 CM's who also have the license.

Here is a list of replacement names that would fit the severity of the new role:

- Attending Physician (best one)
- Clinical Provost
- Chief Medical Officer
- Medical Superintendent
- Physician-in-Chief
- Lead Physician
- Principal Consultant
- Medical Fellow
- Medical Preceptor

I agree with the overall premise of this suggestion. The current title of “Medical Practitioner” is too broad and does not accurately distinguish the new CL4 position from other medical roles within the department. Since the position carries significantly greater responsibility and seniority, its title should reflect that.

However, I would recommend being somewhat cautious with the proposed alternatives. Titles such as “Chief Medical Officer,” “Physician-in-Chief,” or “Medical Superintendent” may imply a level of administrative authority that the position does not necessarily possess. “Attending Physician” or “Lead Physician” would likely be more suitable, as they communicate seniority and responsibility without overstating the role.

Ultimately, I believe the suggestion should be accepted because having a clear and appropriately descriptive title would improve the distinction between medical positions and make the departmental hierarchy easier to understand. The specific replacement title should, however, be selected based on the actual responsibilities and authority associated with the CL4 position.
