In the books, when they get Brand back, Corwin talks about how they all know what to do, seeming to imply PHD levels of med training. When it comes to useful skills for one who can travel in shadow the question would be did they ever think it might be useful? and how long would it take to learn? If even a few years a shadow walker could go to a place with the right time differential and learn anything and be back in Amber for dinner.

That's not an unreasonable position to have in the game; the thing is "medical skills" is something probably any amberite would consider important to have; while a lot of other skills would not be.

The way the time differential thing works, it might make some things difficult; if it takes you 7-12 years of training to learn something and that something is basically something you have to learn in a place where humans can exist, the laws of a world so weird that time would fly at a ratio of 12 years to one Amberite afternoon would probably prevent there being anyone in such a place that could teach you.
