Animal Hospital Classes — All Jobs & Best Picks
All 13 jobs with Sanity, Utilities, and Starter Money profiles. Pick the best class for your run — including Barista, Scientist, and Head Nurse Special Technique.
Class Stat Overview
Sanity
Starts at 60–65% by default
Intern, Secretary, Psychologist, Doctor, Surgeon
Some classes add sanity directly, while Psychologist doubles positive and negative sanity effects.
Utility
Carry capacity, starter items, and class ability value
Paramedic, Security, Head Nurse, Surgeon, Secret Agent, Firefighter
Utility includes how much a class helps with inventory, starting tools, and specific shift situations.
Starter Money
Starts at $0 by default
Security, Secretary, Head Nurse, Surgeon, Secret Agent
Starter cash gives you more buying power for important items and upgrades at the beginning of a shift.
Classes are bought from the lobby class shop with Animal Coins or Robux. Equipping a class changes your model and shows the class name above your avatar in the lobby and near your sanity meter in-game.

All 13 Classes in Detail
Intern
Intern is the default class and the safest starting point for brand-new players. Its value is simple: more sanity at the start of a run gives you more room to learn the hospital flow before mistakes become fatal.
Stat profile: Starts with bonus sanity at every class level.
Starting setup: Default loadout
Use Intern while learning patient checks, anomaly tells, and shift pacing.
Skins: Rascal, Detective, Banana
Nurse
Nurse is the cheapest paid class and a practical first upgrade after Intern. It improves utility by giving more inventory room, which matters when you are carrying medicine, coffee, and emergency items.
Stat profile: Adds inventory capacity as the class levels up.
Starting setup: Extra inventory capacity by level
A sensible first paid class for treatment-focused players.
Skins: Fluffy, Maroon, Assistant, Clean-Up, Classic
Secretary
Secretary is a check-in focused class. Its strength is turning front-desk work into sanity recovery, which helps players who spend a lot of time processing patients before treatment.
Stat profile: Recovers sanity when checking in patients and gains bonus sanity at higher levels.
Starting setup: 20 starter cash
Pick Secretary if your role is patient check-in or if sanity pressure builds before treatment starts.
Skins: Classic, Auburn, Cool, Detective Classic, Ghost (Halloween event)
Paramedic
Paramedic is the movement and response class. It starts with Large Run Cola, making it useful when distance, emergencies, and quick repositioning matter more than raw sanity.
Stat profile: Starts with Large Run Cola and improves its uses by level.
Starting setup: Large Run Cola
Strong for players who need speed for emergency responses and map control.
Skins: Classic
Psychologist
Psychologist is a high-risk sanity specialist. It can gain strong sanity value, but the same double-effect rule can also make bad sanity events more punishing.
Stat profile: Doubles sanity effects and gains ignore-chance upgrades at higher levels.
Starting setup: Sanity-focused passive effects
Try Psychologist after you understand which actions affect sanity and can avoid avoidable sanity losses.
Skins: Classic, Psycho, Disco
Doctor
Doctor is a treatment-focused class that rewards clean healing with sanity recovery. It is a good fit for players who spend most of the shift treating confirmed normal patients.
Stat profile: Recovers sanity when healing patients and gains bonus sanity at higher levels.
Starting setup: Healing-based sanity recovery
A strong general-purpose class when your team needs a reliable healer.
Skins: Classic
Security
Security is a defensive utility class. The July rework pairs its X-Taser threat control with a Deployable Camera for remote hallway coverage at higher levels.
Stat profile: Starts with X-Taser; the rework adds Deployable Camera access at higher levels.
Starting setup: X-Taser; Deployable Camera at higher levels
Use Security when your team needs both roaming-threat control and a movable camera angle away from the fixed CCTV network.
Skins: Classic, Hospital Cop, Werewolf (Halloween event)
Surgeon
Surgeon is the strongest free-track treatment class. Its perk turns successful healing into both sanity value and movement tempo, which makes it excellent when you can keep patients flowing safely.
Stat profile: Gains sanity and speed after healing patients, with stronger effects at higher levels.
Starting setup: Healing-triggered sanity and speed value
Best free-track long-term target if you want a class that rewards clean treatment play.
Skins: Classic
Head Nurse
Head Nurse is a Robux-exclusive utility class. It is built around extra inventory capacity first, then adds bonus sanity and a powerful level 3 Special Technique start.
Stat profile: Adds inventory capacity, bonus sanity, and a level 3 Special Technique start.
Starting setup: Extra inventory capacity and Special Technique at level 3
Good for regular players who want convenience and strong team utility.
Skins: Classic, Supervisor, Old School Fox, Clean-Up, Shark Head (Halloween event)
Secret Agent
Secret Agent is a Robux class built for anomaly response. The July rework combines its starting gun with a reusable Scanner that reports green or red after a short cooldown.
Stat profile: Starts with a gun and Scanner, then gains ammo/sanity improvements by level.
Starting setup: Gun and reusable Scanner
Best considered an optional premium convenience class when you want both early defense and a second opinion at check-in.
Skins: Classic, Agent R, Noir, Agent Blueberry, Dracula (Halloween event)
Firefighter
Firefighter is the fire-response class. It starts with a Fire Extinguisher and extra inventory space, then rewards putting out fires with sanity and eventually removes fire-related sanity drain.
Stat profile: Starts with a Fire Extinguisher and +1 max inventory capacity, then gains sanity and fire protection by level.
Starting setup: Fire Extinguisher and +1 max inventory capacity
Use Firefighter when room fires and emergency cleanup are the main pressure in a shift.
Skins: Classic
Barista
Barista is a coffee support class built around brewing special drinks from ingredients. It becomes a strong sanity support role once it can share coffee with teammates.
Stat profile: Starts with coffee, brews special coffees, and unlocks team coffee support at higher levels.
Starting setup: Coffee and coffee brewing utility
Choose Barista when your team needs repeatable sanity recovery and you can keep the coffee machine supplied.
Skins: No confirmed skins listed
Scientist
Scientist is the DNA and potion laboratory class. It improves sample collection first, then accelerates lab cultures and rewards potion pressing with sanity recovery.
Stat profile: Starts with a Super DNA Sampler, speeds up fed lab cultures, and restores sanity when pressing potions at higher levels.
Starting setup: Super DNA Sampler with 8 slots and two samples per extraction
Choose Scientist on runs where DNA experiments and potion production are part of your planned route.
Skins: No confirmed skins listed
Practical Pick Order
The public class overview does not publish exact full stat tables for every role, so use this as a practical pick order rather than a hidden-number ranking:
Summary Comparison
| Class lane | Best examples | When it fits | Why it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| High Sanity | Intern, Secretary, Psychologist, Doctor, Surgeon | Runs where mistakes or scares keep ending the shift | More survivability gives you time to verify patients |
| High Utility | Paramedic, Security, Head Nurse, Surgeon, Secret Agent, Firefighter | Runs where item slots, detection coverage, or emergencies feel too tight | Starter tools and class abilities reduce wasted trips |
| High Starter Money | Security, Secretary, Head Nurse, Surgeon, Secret Agent | Runs where your opening purchases matter | A better economy improves early shift control |
| Updated detection | Security, Secret Agent | Runs that need more information coverage | Deployable Camera and Scanner add new verification options |
Final recommendation
Pick classes for the problem your current runs actually have. If sanity keeps reaching 0%, prioritize Secretary, Doctor, or Surgeon. If item slots are the bottleneck, test Paramedic, Security, Head Nurse, or Surgeon. Pick Security for movable camera coverage, or Secret Agent when a reusable Scanner and early gun access justify the premium cost.
Class FAQ
How long are the new limited skins available?
The current public Roblox event and game listing do not publish a removal date. Check the live class menu before spending Animal Coins or Robux, and do not assume a limited label means the skin will remain through the next update.
Which is the best class in Animal Hospital?
Surgeon remains the safest long-term Animal Coins target. After the July rework, Security is stronger for X-Taser plus Deployable Camera coverage, while premium Secret Agent starts with both a gun and reusable Scanner.
How do I earn currency to unlock classes?
Classes are purchased with Animal Coins or Robux. The class shop is in the lobby, on the left side of the spawn area near the ambulance marker. There are no listed requirements beyond having enough currency.
What class should a beginner unlock first?
Start as Intern, then choose your first upgrade based on the stat problem you keep hitting. Pick Secretary or Doctor if sanity is killing your runs, Paramedic or Security if item capacity feels limiting, and save for Surgeon if you want the strongest broad free-track target.
Are the Robux classes worth buying?
They are optional. Head Nurse is useful for stronger utility and starting-money value, while Secret Agent is currently listed at 790 Robux after Class Update Part 1. Neither replaces learning anomaly checks and sanity management.
What is Special Technique in Animal Hospital?
Special Technique is the Head Nurse level 3 utility that lets you give all needed medicine from your inventory if you have it available.
Which classes should I check for skins?
Use the dedicated Skins page to compare the listed skin names by class. The class pages remain the place to compare perks, costs, and team roles.
Can I switch classes mid-shift or between shifts?
The class overview confirms that your equipped class appears above your avatar in the lobby and next to your sanity meter in-game. Choose your class before a run based on the shift difficulty, whether you are solo, and which stat lane you need most.
What changed or is changing for classes?
The 2026 class updates added class levels and skins, reworked Security plus Secret Agent, and added Firefighter. Security now adds Deployable Camera access at level 2, while Secret Agent starts with a reusable Scanner alongside its gun.
How much EXP is needed to level a class?
Level 2 requires 200 EXP or 199 Robux. Level 3 requires 850 EXP or 299 Robux, for 1050 EXP or 498 Robux in total from the default level.
