Theory: The EMH in "Academy" is going to be the copy from "Living Witness" (startrek.website)

Until Disco S3, "Living witness" was the furthest future we had seen in Star Trek. But Academy takes place after Discovery. At the end of "Living Witness" the Doctor is described as heading towards Earth.

Assuming the burn didn't get them, it's entirely possible two EMHs are surviving in Discovery's time. I think it would be a fun twist if it wasn't the EMH we expect!

I feel this is almost common sense. Either way, I enjoy an excuse to get a little bit of Robert Picardo.

Maybe he can play both...

Truly the new Jeff Combs

Only reason I think they might not go this route is that it could make it hard for them to drop in Prodigy references. Although, they could definitely have the two EMHs talking to each other...

Are the two of them so different that it would matter?

After a thousand years of vastly different experiences I would be surprised if they were very similar.
