Gimmick Job idea: Psychologist.

[BaneOfGiygas]

If you want drug prescriptions, I think you want a psychiatrist instead of a psychologist.

Actually, I'm pretty sure psychologists are allowed to prescribe drugs as well as psychiatrists, it's just that psychiatrists tend to be more specifically related to the medicinal side of therapy than psychologists, who are typically geared towards counseling and such.

It's just that a psychologist is a PhD while a psychiatrist is an MD, so I figured the right to give prescriptions would go to the guy who went to medical school. I could be wrong though.

However I feel a psychiatrist fits better with the medbay setting, making him a medical doctor, albeit specialized, among medical doctors.

I seem to recall hearing that it's literally the exact same psychological training, but psychiatrists have additional medical training on top of it. Also, I was technically incorrect. Psychologists cannot actually perscribe medicine themselves, but what they can do is send reccommendations to perscribe medicine, which might as well be the same thing.
