II.
Physician - usually first point of access for most patients; able to diagnose, prescribe medication/treatment, or recommend higher medical attention.
Surgeon - performs repairs to the body (invasive).
EMT/Paramedic - response unit for immediate medical attention; first on scene; trained in damage control and resuscitation.

Pharmacist - broad term for specialist in drug therapy; handles medicine prescriptions; can also conduct research in the field of pharmacology.
Researcher - aids in innovation and/or improvement of medical discovery.
Dietitian/Nutritionist - specialist that advises patients on the health impact of diet and nutrion from consumption.
Anesthesiologist - technical specialist trained in working with anesthesia and related equipment.
Radiation Tech/Diagnostic Imaging - another technical specialist trained in diagnostics via imaging (x-rays, CAT scans, MRI, etc)
Public Health/Epidemiologist - surveys and conducts research on a macro level in the field of disease control
Clinical Lab Scientist - works in labs to carry out research in clinical trials, wet/dry labs, or technical work related to research.
Psychiatrist - mental health specialist; can prescribe medication
Rehab. Therapist - works with post-trauma or substance abuse patients to recover to a healthy state and maintain it.
Nurse Aid - nurse's assistant?
Chiropractor - specialist in back and spine related issues
Experimental Medicine Practitioner (Acupuncture...) - practices forms of medicine that may come from different schools of thought or are not supported by the general medical field.
III.
Physicians are the most important because they are where most of the general population will interface with the medical world. Preventative care is important and undervalued in the American health system, so I placed emphasis on positions that enforce that such as: Physicians who can perform routine physical exams, Dentists who advise their patients to maintain good dental hygiene, Dietitian/Nutritionist who can advise good eating habits (small impact unfortunately).
