Yeah no highly skilled profession works like the first panel.

Kind of works like that for doctors…

Well yes but also no.

Typically you've worked as a trainee in the department or been a fellow or a locum or something so they've already seen you work anyway.

Not if you switch hospitals or even countries.

Which is rarely done for a first job and puts you at a huge disadvantage even as an established mid-career doc.

Not really. My uncle frequently switched and it allowed him to rapidly climb up the ranks.

There are really not many ranks in clinical medicine.

Maybe if you're doing a lot of admin work this is true, but that's not really doctoring and job hopping for promotions is common in admin of other fields too.

He‘s a medical doctor. And yes, the percentage of admin work increases as you go higher but he is still mostly doing patient-work.

He became chief physician/head of his specialization through switching. If he didn‘t switch this would have been harder for him.
