The duty of healing and learning herbs is only part of what a medicine cat learns. Most of it is about StarClan and how to receive omens and interpret dreams and such.
Medicine cats are specially bonded with StarClan, and they are the cats who are usually contacted by their ancestors. At every half-moon, the medicine cats and medicine cat apprentices of each Clan go to their sacred place, the Moonstone or moonpool, to speak with their ancestors, to seek advice or to learn of things awaiting in their futures. To receive the signs of StarClan, medicine cats either touch their nose to the cold surface of the Moonstone, or drink the cool water of the Moonpool to initiate their dreams.
Besides medicine cats, StarClan cats sometimes send messages to leaders. Firestar is known to have received several warnings and prophecies, warriors, though it is uncommon, are known to have received prophetic dreams, such as when BrambleClaw is invited to undertake a quest, or even non-Clan cats such as smudge, when Cloudstar wanted Firestar to rebuild SkyClan. Other creatures, such as midnight the badger, may also be given a warning or prophecy for the Clans. All Clan cats give thanks to StarClan after catching prey for the life the prey has given to feed the Clan. Overall medicone cats would still be very important if they didn't know herbs
