I've also been acting in such a capacity, and helming the Med Bay until now," says the green guy that probably looks like an Orion, but speaks in the cold tones of a Vulcan. "Coluans receive enough medical training as part of their standard education to qualify as a medical doctor and have to test for the certifications--. However, I'm a scientist, not a doctor. While I can still assist when needed, I would like to hand over management of Med Bay to someone more qualified, so I can divert more of my attention to the Engineering Alcove."
He's also not the best at it, honestly, though he doesn't want to admit it. Book learnings /= practical education. Sam's surgery attests to that. Brainy'd done the best he could and better than the EMH, but not as well as a qualified neurosurgeon could have.
"You wouldn't happen to have any specializations in neurology or neurosurgery, would you? We have someone who suffered a projectile-caused, perforating head wound. I managed to remove the foreign debris and regrow and graft considerable amounts of neural matter, so he's now stable and conscious, but he needs--"
