(TNG: "All Good Things...") It was also a requirement of a medical practitioner to have a certain sensitivity to properly address a patient. (VOY: "Parallax")

During the 22nd century, the Xindi trained their physicians through use of biometric holograms. (ENT: "The Council")

In 2152, there were over one million physicians on Vulcan. (ENT: "Stigma")
