Could Data be a starship CMO?

[Mojochi]

I do think Data makes for an excellent neutral arbitrator or judge. A negotiator though is more like a mediator, and requires some of the same interpersonal skills a counselor would need

I think he could become a doctor, definitely. But I’m not sure downloading the medical database alone would be enough. Remember that Voyager episode where they loaded the database into a new hologram? It didn’t recreate The Doctor. So he’d probably need some training first. But eventually? Sure—why not. IDIC.

Harry told Tom it took the greatest holoenginers years to create the Mark 1 EMH. Harry and Tom couln't do it by themselves.

The real question is... Would Data be the best or worst Lucasian Chair Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge? (All Good Things...)

By this time, Data's got emotions, so his lectures wouldn't be AS boring, but now he seems incredibly pompous & a bit phony

 

[Verteron]

The Lucasian Chair is not a teaching position, it's a research position. Some of the holders of the chair have given lectures from time to time, but they're not expected to deliver a full teaching programme as part of their responsibilities.

For example, Stephen Hawking did occasionally give lectures, but due to the limitations of his condition they were usually short and his speaking device required him to prepare his remarks well in advance of any public speaking.

Geordi could have done it in 3 minutes, look at how fast he managed to create sentient holograms capable of taking over the ship or interactive hot warp drive engineers.

How Admiral McCoy died during the Dominion War--

Scotty: Spock, with the entire medical crew slaughtered by the Jem Hadar and the EMH inaccessible, I had no other choice!

McCoy: Now I may be old, but it seems like I'll have to step up, wait what do you mean you "had no other choice"?

Data: With Captain Scott's authorization, I have downloaded the entire Federation medical database into my positronic memory, including the life experiences of all former Starfleet chief medical officers, and am now ready to act as a one android Starfleet medical care team.

(Dr. McCoy drops dead in horror and shock at how quickly he's replaced by a machine)

Scotty: He's dead Ji--I mean, Spock.

Ambassador Spock: Fascinating.
