Medical officers are also called upon to use their extensive biomedical education to conduct research and perform investigative roles on away teams in collaboration with their science officer colleagues. Talia Kecia Ohnari, V'Len Kel, and Genkos Adea Educational Pathways Some medical cadets have already earned their medical degree on their homeworlds and are proficient in the methods of medicine for their own species. Others have completed premedical studies and obtain their doctor of medicine degree from Starfleet Medical Academy after four years of study. Either way, because of their lengthy education, most medical cadets do not enter Starfleet Medical Academy until at least the age of 22. Cadets who wish to earn both their undergraduate degree and their MD from the Academy typically major in one of the science specialities or counseling (although any major is acceptable) during their undergraduate years. They complete the coursework like any other cadet in those fields before going on to their medical studies. Upon graduation, medical officers complete an internship and then enter the fleet as general medical officers or continue on to further residency training.
