The primary duty of any medical officer is to provide for the health and well being of his or her Ship, Crew, and Captain. As a Doctor, you are also required to render aid to anyone in any situation. You have jurisdiction over any medically hazardous or medically necessary situation, making sure that it can not endanger your ship. Because of this directive, it may be necessary for you to leave the ship in order to provide care.

You are responsible for the bio-hazard protocols on your ship, and for the monitoring of the transport biofilters. Any medical care that is needed, be it a small bruise or abrasion, or full scale cardiac surgery becomes your responsibility. Your duty to the Commanding Officer is as follows: Ensure that the Commanding Officer is at all times medically capable of performing his or her duties. The Chief medical Officer may relieve the Commanding Officer of duty. It is recommended that the CMO consult the Ship's Counselor and perhaps other senior officers before doing so.

A log or record of your crew's medical history can be helpful in determining future treatment. These logs may include Out of Sim treatments and experiments, as well as supporting information of In Sim occurrences.
