			The chemistry lab is to be primarily operated by chemists followed by the senior physician. Special circumstances can allow other personnel to operate the lab such as but not limited to; no chemist is available or their status is unknown or skeleton crew access.

			Treatment of patients is primarily the responsibility of medical doctors, who are expected to handle all medical care including life saving surgeries.

			Rescue operations should be carried out by paramedics, prioritizing safety and stabilization of patients.

			The corpsman takes priority over doctors and paramedics when it comes to treating or rescuing security personnel, unless the number of casualties exceeds what a single corpsman can effectively manage or the corpsman requests assistance.

			Medical interns may be assigned a doctor as their mentor to teach them the basics and proper application of medicine. Interns may observe or assist in surgeries but cannot act as the primary surgeon unless no other doctors are available during an emergency.
