That's why we continue to say that training and course of study matter. If people are going to reputable institutions, doing residences (or in our case, practica and internships) at reputable places, that matters a lot.

I completely agree that not all programs and not all candidates are alike here.

Just like some psychologists could be well-suited to prescribe and manage medications, but I already know that I am not/will not be one of them. Complex biophysiology is not my forte and I don't feel I would be competent to do the work that people with true medical understanding and expertise are qualified to do.
