After the military and the church, the most popular career for young, relatively wealthy Old Worlders is that of Physician. Anyone with talent - or just a reputation - can earn great wealth through the patronage of the nobility. As with most Academic careers, the only way to become a Physician is to take tuition from an established practitioner. Physicians, however, do not take apprentices as such. Instead, renowned or retired individuals sometimes teach their skills to groups of students who pay them fees. Most hospitals and universities in large cities have teaching facilities. It takes several years and a great deal of work to become a Physician and not all students last the course.
