Medical Cadet Requirements
Medical personnel provide day-to-day medical care to the people aboard ship, and treat injuries just like any other doctor.
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. Either way, because of their lengthy education, most medical cadets do not enter Starfleet Medical Academy until at least the age of 22.
Those wishing to complete all of their education at Starfleet Academy, including their premedical studies, may do so through a 6-year program which includes 2 years of general and elective study at the undergraduate level before they formally enter Starfleet Medical Academy to complete 4 years of pure medical study.
Upon graduation, medical officers complete an internship and then enter the fleet as general medical officers or continue on to further residency training.
