Vel Sokaar is a Doctor of Medicine, specializing in biotechnology.  He is presently finishing his Academy attendance.  His work thus far has focused on regenerative zoological mechanisms and their translation to humanoid species for medicinal and rehabilitative purposes, though other unusual mechanisms such as hibernation and environmental adaptations are within his scope of interest.

  A lifelong interest in exotic creatures led Sokaar to pursue his interests at the Vulcan Science Academy.  There, a professor encouraged him to the "logical" goal of Starfleet Academy in order to get more expedient access to interstellar travel and biomedical advancements, and exposure and experience to a wide variety of environments that could expand his career goals and credibility.  In addition to graduating from the VSA with an advanced biosciences degree, he transferred many of these credits to Starfleet Medical, and acquired his MD in shorter order.   

  His study of exotic lifeforms included studying stellar cartography to determine possible interstellar migration patterne (possible "seeding").  Passion for seeking out exotic life forms and where they are located has led him to spend much of his free time and leave time flying to various planets.  took Navigation and Astronomy extension classes at the academy to be ready for contingencies and anomalies.
