Might apply to dermatologists. Maybe. Well, probably not.

Don't forget something like: "We're looking for a senior doctor with 10 years of COVID-19 experience."

  That one is possible if you were there during the SARS or MERS epidemics, they're also coronavirus that you could easily sell as COVID experience.

    Maybe, but that reminds me of a recruiter or HR rep saying "Java and Javascript are like the same thing, right?"

  I have thrown out resumes claiming the same. Explain how you have more years experience then the age of the tech. LOLZ.

I can't speak to doctors, but I know a few nurse practitioners and jobs will auto-reject if you don't have the correct specialty. A quick search reveals there's at least 13 specialties [1]. "We need an adult gerontology nurse practitioner, not orthopedics." I thought this was interesting because a common programmer hiring model assumes you can train an exceptional programmer to your specific stack regardless of their existing specialty. I'd argue programming specialties are still broad, maybe frontend, backend, iOS, android, and embedded. Perhaps as the software development matures, we'll see more specialized fragmentation.

  You can train programmers because there is time and there aren’t often lives at stake. Nurses have to hit the ground running in specialist areas where there is (I’d assume) often little time to acquire all necessary skills in order to perform at the required level

  IoT, distributed systems, security, networking, statistical computing, analytics, AI/ML, deep learning, robotics/autonomous driving (waaay more than embedded), operating systems, quantum, DevOps... The fact that I can name a dozen programming specialties that have nothing to do with your list at all is a tell

    All of those specialties exist, true, but they add up to almost nothing. I'd wager that better than 95% of software developers are either web frontend or backend with a small sprinkling of mobile mixed in.
