Pony medicine features both [[Magic|magical]] and mundane medical therapies and diagnostic techniques, medical magic being an area of study that was comparatively well-preserved through the [[catastrophe]]. Still, medicine is not what it once was, and both supplies and qualified practitioners are sometimes scarce.
 
There are six respectable medical schools in the [[Isle of Yore]], one located at [[Hayminnow University]], the [[Docktown Eclectic Medical School]], The [[House of the Watcher on High]] (for ponies religious with a medical vocation), [[Springvale Hospital]], [[Equestria University at Solaria on the Lake]], and the [[Caketown Professional Institute]]. Note that these institutions do not have a monopoly on medical education; [[Magic College|magic schools]] often teach some healing magic (although a knowledge of scientific medicine greatly complements it) and there are a number of very small self-proclaimed medical schools. Learning medicine by apprenticeship is also common.
