You're right! They never go back to studying the plants...unless you drag them to one about 4 or 5 times a day. I've gotten many Master Doctors in this way, and, once you get them over a certain Adept level, some will become Master Doctors on their own. Some get it through age, and some through heritage. I've had one as young as 16, and most of my older doctors are Masters. It's work, but it can be done.

Same here !!!!!!! I get soooooo about it and have never had a master doc yet!

PS They NEVER go back to studying the plants!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems that it's very difficult, even impossible; to have master doctors before the game is "completed"!! I never had some before that too. And it's the same when your doctors have others skills than healing, they always prefer to do something else and they never go back to studying the plants by their own (as building. I noticed that they like to make exercise and if they succeed, they get some building skills!) I have some villagers who became master doctors by their own after I completed the game and only if it's their only skills. Many of them were trained to heal sick villagers when they were kids! Take care, if you have a doctor who is a runner, he is each time the first to heal and so the other doctors fail!!

I don't know exactly how many heals it takes to have a noticeable amount of skill but it could be from5 until 10 times (each heal is a little noticeable, anyway)
Remove them after it says "This villager has improved at healing" and when their acting is "nothing".

I also noticed, but I'm not sure, that a villager selected with healing skill (without any other skills) will study the strange plants by his own until he become adept doctor. And then he stops and passes his time to do many things else! To become a master doctor would depend of the opportunities to heal.
I'm not sure of that and if somebody has noticed the same things, please tell it me! \:\)

It is very noticable that they do not go back to the herbs after they reach adept status... This is what is sooooo frustrating about it and to take that time to make people sick just to get one or two master healers is not truly worth it!!! It makes me mad that they do not go back to the herbs like they did in VV1 at least in VV3 let them go back every 2 or 3 days to get healing experience!!

I never make my villagers sick and I have at least 3 or 4 master doctors among 10 doctors!! but I don't know how and why. Except if one of them "likes Medicine", I suppose he the fist to heal!! \:\) or if they have a lot of healing skill when they are very young!

But I agree with you, it's very frustrating!!

I generally start my doctors off young, by using them to heal when they are kids. Usually they'll be an apprentice doctor and become trainess when they turn 14. They'll usually study the plants on their own until they get to adept level, as laurence says; after that they have to be dragged there every time. What with dragging them to the plants and healing the villagers' ailments, most of my doctors make master and several go on to become Elders. It does seem to need some time though. The village needs to be in the late stages (after the puzzles have been completed) as until then they are best used on other tasks, with doctoring just being a sideline.

What I do is, pause the game when someone sneezes, go through the peeps and take the doctor over to them. Other than that look at the stews, thats all I'm saying.

I've just had my adept doctor heal more than ten people, I waited until his status was "nothing" and he is still adept and has gained NO noticeable amount of skill. \:\(

I found that the only way to get a master doctor is if your villager don't have another skill or have a island event, or the gong grants one that rings the gong wisdom sometime becomes a master doctor.
