11 Medical and Healthcare Careers
22  
33 Medical and healthcare careers do not currently exist in inZOI. There are no doctor, nurse, paramedic, or pharmacist career paths in the Early Access version of the game. Hospitals appear on the city map as named buildings (such as the Dowon Medical Station), but they are not functional locations that Zois can enter or work in. The developers have stated that implementing full hospital simulations would be too complex for the current phase of development. However, the 2026 roadmap confirms that healthcare systems centered on hospitals and pharmacies are planned for a future update.

77 While there are no medical careers, inZOI does have an illness and treatment system that operates entirely at the household level:

99 FeatureCurrent StatusHospitalsVisible on the city map but not functional. Zois cannot visit for treatment.First Aid KitPurchasable for 100 Meow in Build Mode. Provides unlimited cold medicine.Vaccine DonutMeow Store item granting permanent immunity to colds and allergies.Doctor/Nurse NPCsDo not exist. No medical professionals appear in the game world.Medical career pathNot available. No job listings exist for healthcare roles.Pharmacy buildingsNot functional. No pharmacy interactions available.
1010 All illness treatment is currently handled at home through First Aid Kits. When a Zoi gets sick (from cold weather, contagion, pollen allergies, or food poisoning), the player clicks on the First Aid Kit and selects "Take Cold Medicine" to cure the illness. There is no option to visit a hospital or consult a medical professional.

1212 How Illness Works Without Medical Careers
1313  
1414 The absence of medical careers means that illness management falls entirely on the player. Key illness mechanics include:
1515  
1616 FeatureDescriptionContagion- sickness spreads rapidly within households. If one Zoi falls ill, others in the same home will likely catch it within hours.Seasonal risk- winter months significantly increase cold and flu rates across the city.Death from disease- untreated illness can progress to a fatal infection. Disease is one of 17 confirmed death types in inZOI.Work impact- sick Zois perform worse at their jobs and in school, affecting career progression and grades.City sanitation- the city management menu includes a sanitation setting that influences illness rates across the entire population.

1919 Existing Career Paths
2020  
2121 inZOI currently offers 18 full-time careers and 4 part-time jobs across Dowon and Bliss Bay. None involve healthcare or medicine. The closest career to a public service role is the Firefighter career at Dowon Fire Station, which involves emergency response but not medical care:

2424 The Firefighter career is Dowon-exclusive with a five-tier promotion path. While firefighters respond to emergencies, they do not treat illnesses or perform medical procedures.

2626 2026 Roadmap: Planned Healthcare Systems
2727  
2828 The official 2026 roadmap, published by director Kjun on December 26, 2025, includes healthcare as a confirmed future addition:
2929  
3030 SystemDescriptionHealthcare systems centered on hospitals and pharmacieswhere Zois can receive treatment and recovery. This suggests functional hospital buildings where Zois can visit for medical care, not just home treatment.Police career system (Q1 2026)including patrol cars and real-time criminal searches. This is listed as a Q1 priority and may indicate that other public service careers (including medical) could follow a similar implementation pattern.Expanded job systemsupporting multiple jobs per Zoi, interviews, remote work, and performance evaluations. This broader career overhaul could provide the framework for adding medical career paths.
3131 No specific quarter has been assigned to the healthcare system addition. The developers have cautioned that not every roadmap item may be achievable in 2026, and some features may shift to later updates. Community interest in medical careers is strong, with players on the official forums requesting doctor and nurse roles where Zois could attend medical school and then work in a functioning hospital.
