| - The Starfleet Surgeon General was a high-ranking position at Starfleet Command on Earth. The Surgeon General was the flag officer at Starfleet Medical with authority over doctors, nurses and other medical personnel assigned to Starfleet ships, starbases and other facilities. The position was also the ultimate authority over the training and education of medical personnel at Starfleet Medical Academy. This presumably includes any distance learning aboard ships or other Starfleet facilities. Included in the Surgeon General's scope of authority was the determination of competency of all medical officers, non-commissioned officers and enlisted personnel. In 2269, in accordance with Starfleet Command, relieved Dr. Arthur Coleman of his duties due to "administrative incompetence" and for making "flagrant medical blunders." (TOS: "Turnabout Intruder"; Orion Press: "Never Forget"). Flag officers holding this office had the authority to grant awards and commendations, including the Starfleet Surgeon General's Decoration. Leonard McCoy was a recipient of this decoration. (TAS: "Albatross")
- The Starfleet Surgeon General was a position within Starfleet that existed during the mid to late 23rd century. The Starfleet Surgeon General held authority over Starfleet Medical. The Surgeon General had the power to relieve starship medical officers who were judged to be incompetent. An example of this occurred in 2269, when the Starfleet Surgeon General, in cooperation with Starfleet Command, relieved Doctor Arthur Coleman for "administrative incompetence" and making "flagrant medical blunders". Upon "James T. Kirk"'s assertion that Coleman's removal might have been politically motivated, Leonard McCoy remarked that politics, such as those involved in promotions and demotions, were not to be found in the Surgeon General's office. Later, Spock suggested that the Surgeon General's office ought to be informed of Kirk's apparent madness, but McCoy rebuffed the Vulcan's suggestion, saying they preferred test results to personal opinions.
