As I understand it, medical school is very heavy on memorization - doctors are expected to absorb a huge quantity of data about procedures, medications, etc. So much memorization, in fact, that it's probably incompatible with a habit of model-checking everything. If that's true, then this would filter out the traits that medicine needs most to repair its practices.
