well since we are talking afk macros that you need prereqs for, get CM any level (preferably master) take some brandy and canape, find a poor helpless animal (i used rills) and use this macro:
/apply poison
/peace
/wait 4
/macro grinddoctor
if you get a decent poison pack, perferably made with rancor bile, you can be getting 500-700 xp a toss and the animal wont die, some rill gave me half the total med xp i needed for doctor.

even if your buffed and do the t2 pet trick you will still go down fast on action ...

I buffed people, made MCM in 5hrs(can really cap med xp fast dropping 2500pt buffs on people - not to mention being paid to gain your xp). Of course to do that you have to be a doc first.

btw I grinded doc...
all 1400xp I needed so I could train before heading out hunting with my friends, the one and only time I used a tumbler. All my other xp was gained through healing my hunting party. All crafting xp was done waiting for shuttles or in starports. As well as cantinas. I did use a macro, however I do believe if they eliminate the recursive macros it will be back to the ol' wrist busting crafting.
I'm not trying to push "train my way or no way" on anyone, but I did find it more fun healing out in the field. The added bonus is that I didn't burn myself out trying to master.
/shrug to each their own.
my only advice I'd offer, take it or leave it. Doctor is a fun trade, don't burn yourself out grinding.

oh, forgot to add...
No profession should be able to gain xp afk. Arguement could be made for Merchant or Politician (well a politician that couldn't argue for afk xp should be a politican)

what are you ppl nazis?! what happened to all the real docs who actually lvl up and do it for the experiance of being a doc 
too many ppl are just in it for the buffing "ooh ima get rich" crap. cant wait till they kill tumbling and looping macros.

Yes, I'm a totalitarian bigot who uses massive propaganda to run a ring of hatred...all this can be inferred because I healed a tumbling friend to get to master doctor.
And wouldn't grinding not actually count as BEING a doctor? I don't think a second year med student is "being" a doctor...

I hope you lose your account for making this post. People like you are the reason that we are losing recursive macros.

I hope you lose your account for making this post. People like you are the reason that we are losing recursive macros. And why do you need to grind anything quickly anymore? The Holocron Days are over.

Interesting idea Atreus. I don't know if i'd bother using the A buffs tho. Just recently I made some A buffs in my factory to help some of the doc grinders out and I found they're only getting about 20-25 XP per use. It wasn't cost efficient in my case so I just got rid of them. I know D's are great for XP, do you know what kind of XP u get off the B's and C's?

What does it matter how easy it is to become a Doc? Docs get tired of buffing in a few days anyway. If there isn't a constant supply of fresh Docs no one will be buffing in starports. Then people will come ask what happened to all the docs and why are Buffs 100K now. LoL
Anyhow first time took me a few weeks. Second time took about 8 hours to master Doctor with T1 pet trick.
Any true doc knows that to really master being a doctor is to make your own buffs. And making good buffs can take months.

i got to 4-4-4-0 in doc from novice in under 2 hrs by healing a guy telling his pet to do tricks over and over...much better than tumbling in my opinion..
