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

+Support on Attending Physician. Practitioner is boring.

 

[Reshala]

Time to bring back Chief of Medicine after 4 years

Spoiler

edit: Chief Medical Officer sounds the best, and this is totally not biased because of Space Station 14

Chief Medical Officer fits best imo but it might also sound "too high" for a second command, but otherwise I agree with the names on the list over its current iteration

Imo a role like Superintendent or Attending Physican sounds best. Practicioner sounds bad (my opinion) and makes no sense as a 2IC.

Same would go with the Research Curator. It sounds bad and can easily be replaced with fitting names like Supervising Researcher/Research Supervisor or other titles like Coordinators or whatever. Curator IN MY OPINION sounds bad and like a smaller role than Sr. CL4.

 

[Callahan]

Superintendent is the best

[Stellaris]

+2 for Superintendent

Probably not, but we'll see

The entire point of the name is just to keep it simple, medical-themed, and easy to pronounce.

Besides, the fact it's open ended allows people to make the role more their own and declare, when asked, what they're even a practitioner of

We already have chiefs
Superintendent sounds like a site admin job
Attending physician is literally just a doctor

And the list in the main body of the suggestion:
Provost?
Fellow?
Preceptor?
As much as I love history, no

 

[Luigi Fishford]

How about Head resident? That is, in comparrison, an actiually globally translatable term for a head doctor in charge of a station within any hospital. Its short, simple and sticks.

After some discussion, this suggestion has spurred us to re-evaluate the whole of the medical teams naming conventions
