Are we ever going to see Erik try and fill in the gaps in his knowledge base? He keeps running into problems he can't solve correctly because he is not an MD, chemist, engineer, or what have you but he has almost unlimited time an resources now. Why doesn't he hop over to a fast paced Earth iteration and go back to college? He could get all the Doctorates.

Like most people, he finds branching out into an entirely new field of study to be mildly daunting. He doesn't need to be an MD in his day-to-day life, so he doesn't feel it's a priority. Oh, he *will* study medicine to improve his healing spells, but it's not something to drop everything for.
Incidentally, the time differential, while useful, is unpredictable. Properly arranged, he could abandon everything and go get a degree in what would amount to a fraction of the usual time. The trouble is, what fraction? A day? A week? Or would it average closer to a year? He has no way to control it.

Eric is an academic, he always wants to learn. Much of book one is him learning (writer’s point of view: world building). Book two, he makes a study of night lords. When Balaur flies away, Eric’s reaction is curiosity. He always wants to understand new things. Book six he studies zombies. I can cite more if necessary. To answer your question, why would he do that? He is curious gamer. It’s his nature to want to know.
