The answer

It is permissible for a woman to study medicine and treat men when there are no male doctors available, provided she maintains her modesty and does not touch or look at what is not necessitated by need. It is preferable for her to specialize in pediatrics or gynecology. Forbidden intermingling is that which leads to unlawful looking or touching, except out of necessity. As for gathering in classrooms for a need, with the woman being veiled and keeping her distance from men, it is permissible.
