In an interview with Siliconera, Yu Namba, the project lead, talked about the upcoming Trauma Team game. He offered some more information abot the 6 different types of doctors featured in the game along with how each one is distinct in their own way. He also talked about how the game is supposed to be more realistic in comparison to the previous Trauma Center games. Namba also covered other topics such as the game's story, co-op mode, and the possibility of the Wii MotionPlus for future projects.

Atlus announced Trauma Team with the tag line “six doctors, six specialities”. Since there wasn’t much info I asked Yu Namba, Project Lead at Atlus, to tell us more about Trauma Team before it comes out on the Wii next spring.

Can you set up Trauma Team for us?

Yu Namba, Project Lead: The Trauma Center series, until now, has focused on the surgical portion of the world of medicine. With Trauma Team we’re expanding that focus to the entire hospital experience by having six doctors with their own specialty. We do have a surgeon still. There is an orthopedic surgeon, a technician that specializes in endoscopy, we have a diagnostician, a paramedics person, we also have a forensics person, a coroner.

The coroner… I *think* we’ve seen her in another Trauma Center game.

Yes, yes. For some reason she is not working as a surgeon any more. You might discover what happened to her in this game.

And the surgeon isn’t he a cryogenically frozen criminal?

Sort of. I don’t think we can reveal that much right now, but he has been sentenced to 250 years in prison. He made a deal with the government to lessen his sentence by performing surgeries.
