Starfleet Medical Academy is the medical school associated with Starfleet Academy and is likely associated with Starfleet Medical as well. Students wishing to become doctors and nurses within Starfleet may apply to the Academy. All medical doctors and related staff who obtained degrees elsewhere within the Federation must also pass through orientation and certain preparatory classes at the Medical Academy before practicing medicine within the fleet.

Student Life

As a student at medical school, Leonard McCoy used to play practical jokes with trick drinking glasses that would dribble the beverage as the person drank from it. (TAS: "The Practical Joker")

Bashir designed a candy bar that was superior in food value to that of Starfleet combat rations during his time at the Academy. (DS9: "The Siege")

Curriculum

One thing medical students learn their first year at medical school is that tricorders are very accurate with live people, but not so accurate with dead ones. (DS9: "The Passenger")

One professor at the Medical Academy taught that the brain had a "spark of life" that can't be replicated. Julian Bashir recalled this comment when facing the question of replacing parts of Bareil Antos' brain with artificial implants. (DS9: "Life Support")

Final Exams

The final graduation exams for Starfleet Medical Academy include an oral exam. Julian Bashir mistook a pre-ganglionic fiber for a post-ganglianic nerve during his oral exam. (DS9: "Q-Less")
