With the absolute absurdity the residency process, and the focus entirely on new doctors just after that residency, I have to wonder how much of this just corresponds to whoever's lucky enough to be the kind of high-powered mutant who can survive multiple years of 80- to 100-hour week schedules designed by a man who was high on cocaine and morphine 24/7 (seriously, look it up, it's true). There are going to be a lot of people who need an extended sabattical to recover from that before they'll be effective at anything at all, which makes any kind of baseline of test scores really suspect to me.
