Health And Pathology

» Health & Pathology - Overview «

The Health and Pathology division (H&P or HP) serves as the primary medical unit of Site-21. H&P has various branches dedicated to the medical treatment of both non-anomalous and anomalous diseases and illnesses. To stay up to date with better methods and remedies, the division regularly works with the International Center for Occultic Studies (ICOS).

The Health and Pathology division (H&P or HP) was established in 1999 to comply with the 1984 SCP Foundation Facility Standards. It serves as the primary division for medical treatment of facility staff, with treatment often requiring extensive and esoteric knowledge to combat medical issues not seen in the civilian world. H&P has a dedicated On-Site Hospital located in the Personnel Zone, which houses H&P and the other divisions.

Due to the nature of the Foundation's work, the H&P division often encounters situations with highly unusual and challenging situations. Because of this, H&P maintains exceptionally high expectations of its medical staff, requiring them to undergo extensive training and education in the enigmatic world of anomalous pathology. The International Center for Occultic Studies, with its vast set of medical programs, remains the largest producer of new Site-21 medical personnel.

New staff comprises individuals with a history of medical training and experience. The Foundation rarely ever recruits personnel who do not have a formal education background, as there exist very few non-anomalous courses. The individual branches of H&P have different requirements, though all staff have to go through paranormal-medicine school. If spotted by the SCP Foundation, the intern is given access to the para-academic institutions — often ICOS — which will allow them to pursue their Doctor of Paranormal Medicine (D.P.M.) degree. After becoming Doctors of Paranormal Medicine, they are granted the ability to become residents and interns in the facility. Residency is the post-graduate specialized training of fresh doctors. During their first year of residency, they go through an internship. During the internship, the new doctors are introduced to the facility and the anomalies in containment. The length of residency varies from branch to branch.

To deal with the irregularities and abnormalities of the paranormal world, the H&P division, with its exceptionally trained staff, is equipped with a wide array of experimental methods and advanced technology. Such technology often includes the use of anomalies themselves, such as in the case of demonic medicine or thaumaturgical remedies. Additionally, state-of-the-art AI from AERD is also used to assist personnel in their work. Similarly, anomalous personnel — also known as Class-E personnel — are not unseen of in H&P.
