Ok but now you're trivializing said qualities. Being hard-working, persistent, organized, and responsible are desirable qualities for being a hair stylist, clergyman, government official, astronaut, bounty hunter, etc. So in this regard, yes of course there must be such overlap.
Albert Einstein said "education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school." That's a little dramatic, but medical school, in my view, is not liberated from the subtle but pervasive hand of the post-Enlightenment habitus: a display case of carefully ordered and boxed specimens in its own right (in this case, you're the specimen). The problem is that the academy, the military barracks, the prison, the hospital...they all stop at the campus edge, and the world beyond just isn't so neat and satisfying. This is what I have found myself unlearning in residency, and I hope to spend the rest of my life and career unlearning.
