What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion would change the newly updated Medical Department roles to the following:
Nurse -> Medical Intern
Physicians Assistant -> Junior Resident
Physician -> Senior Resident
Resident -> Chief Resident
Lead Physician -> Hospitalist or Attending Physician
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Not to my knowledge, I'm just making this in reaction to the new changes put out today.
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
The foremost benefit is clarity, I think these names are just easier to understand for those outside of the department.
It also provides a clearer line of progression for new doctors.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
I think the main negative is that the names were just changed like an hour ago and they would be changed again.
Also while I don't personally think the current names are the best per-se, it's still an update to Medical and I don't want to discourage new changes to Medical. We love you, Content Team.
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
While these names aren't 100% accurate to real world structures, they would provide a much clearer sense of hierarchy for anybody who isn't already familiar with it.
