History and specifics

In the late 24th century, the Medical Academy's campus included the Medical Academy Hospital building, as well as laboratories, dormitories, and various offices. Courses covered exobiology, chemistry, genetic analysis, anatomy, physiology, and cellular metamorphosis in a four-year program to complete the M.D. Select course titles included Ethics of Medicine and the Law, Pathophysiology, and Andorian Anatomy. Interns could petition to participate in an optional three-month internship aboard a starship or at a Starfleet medical facility. The Academy also operated a career advancement center.
