>The distinct lack of verifiable, objective markers of physician competence. This is the same for software, and is equally annoying (especially as a self-taught Dev), but physicians at least have the assessment of people who have had to endure intellectually difficult course work. You also have several assessments of direct physician ability (boards) and possibly other things. As for software, I can basically follow tutorials, watch some videos, maybe do a few small projects, and then be able to convince someone to actually give me a job. That's my only measurement -- whether someone will pay for my skills. You guys are much closer to objectively verifying someone's ability, so hopefully that doesn't seem as vexing for you.
