A Medic, or Medical Professional, is a person with the skills to treat the sick or injured.
Career
Qualifications
Having the knowledge to preform medical procedures, create treatments for ailments, or mix medicine.
Career Progression
Whatever you can learn to do in whatever order pretty much.
Payment & Reimbursement
Free doctors are able to charge pretty much whatever they like, though on Vondren there isn't much overhead if you're licensed, as the government will pay for your equipment, building, protection, and needed materials. As a licensed doctor you can charge much less and still make more than an unlicensed one.
Kidnapped doctors usually don't get to charge anything and are at the mercy of their captors.

Purpose
Treating illness/injury
Social Status
Famous Doctors are considered celebrities on Vondren, though anyone can achieve this with enough work, luck, and a pleasant attitude. (do not piss off the Bhcu Cuhcil Medical Society if you want to keep that status.)
History
When the people of Jaumun and Vondren lost their collective history to years of cold war, they also lost their medical knowledge. For the longest time most practical medicine was taboo, though no one can really say for sure why.
Then the Medical renaissance began in Bhcu Cuhcil and people started sharing their bits of information. But this knowledge was so valuable and known to so few that medics started getting abducted. Because of this, less people to want to go into the medical field, only adding to the to the rarity and danger.
Systems were put into place to protect medics, among them was the Vondren Medical License system. The licence system provided medics with fortified locations to work and provided military guards. This grew the numbers, if slowly, and the Bhcu Cuhcil Medical Society was founded.
Even with these systems the amount of people willing to work the medical field is still relatively low, especially on Jaumun, and unprotected or careless medical practitioners are still regularly snatched away to serve for crimelords or pirates.
Operations
Dangers & Hazards
Taking on this profession isn't for the faint of heart. Apart from the possibility of being around dangerous materials or sharp objects, the threat of being kidnapped is extremely high.

Legality
Vondren
You can practice legally without a license as long as you don't help pirates. A Vondren Medical License is a bonus to protect and encourage skilled people. The Bhcu Cuhcil Medical Society decides who gets a licence and who doesn't. If a doctor rises up from the unlicensed and becomes famous they will likely get a license because of it.
Jaumun
There are really no rules set into place regarding healers. anyone can call them self one if they really wanted. Most healers on Jaumun are just people who know how to bandage a wound, apply an ointment or medication, or mix things together to get desired results(and sometimes also undesired ones).
ZaVida Mutuality
Welcomes doctors and actively tries to free them from pirates to offer them work and protection. Though there aren't really any hard laws on what is and isn't a doctor.
