Los Santos Fire Department

. . .
As of October 2021, the Los Santos Fire Department will be gaining a sub-faction, which will house hospital staff within Los Santos. This is strictly on an out-of-character level. The Fire Chief will work in conjunction with a separate team of leaders to run and maintain this sub-faction. This means while hospitals are script-wise under the Los Santos Fire Department, they are owned, operated and maintained separately on an in-character level.

Both the Los Santos Fire Department and the Mount Zonah Medical Center will have their own recruitment and training processes.

• If you wish to apply for the Los Santos Fire Department, you can do so here.

Mount Zonah Medical Center

• This faction is responsible for providing advanced medical roleplay for the server, including, but not limited to: doctor visits; ER visits; treatment for diseases; surgical services; and other services one would expect from a hospital. Mount Zonah Medical Center is a teaching hospital, which means students apply for Residency with us in their last year of medical school. When approved for a Residency with us, the medical student joins the faction as an Intern.
  
  There are a variety of tasks and responsibilities within the Mount Zonah Medical Center.
  
  Interns
  They are responsible for working along side of other doctors (under supervision), as well as performing basic diagnostic and treatment procedures. Upon taking (and passing) a Residency Board exam, the Intern becomes a Resident Physician.
  
  Resident Physicians
  They have the ability to diagnose, treat, and operate on patients alone, but are still under the direct supervision of the hospital's supervisory staff. One skilled Resident will be appointed Chief Resident.
  
  Chief Resident
  They have the administrative role of organizing and assigning Residents to patients, as well as ensuring they complete their other work-related duties. They also represent the Residents to Hospital Leadership.
  
  Fellows
  A Resident can also decide to study more thoroughly in one specific specialty in order to become a Fellow. They train directly under the Attending Physician of their choice. Those Residents who choose to have a more general specialty may be promoted to Attending Physician, as long as they've put in the required time, and gained enough experience for the position.
  
  Attending Physician
  The Attendings are considered the hospital's supervisory staff and have full authority over their patients and specialties. They may, at any time, override an Intern, Resident, or Fellow, and decide the best course of treatment for patients.
  
  Chief of Medicine and Deputy Chief of Medicine
  These individuals make up the hospital's leadership team. They are responsible for overseeing the hospital in its entirety, with many responsibilities. This can range from administrative tasks, such as handling promotions and demotions, to more hands-on duties that Attendings may also be responsible for.
