In most countries doctors and other health professionals are registered and licensed, and must submit to strict examinations.
Mistakes can also be career-ending and potentially result in criminal prosecution.
It's way harder to get hired as a doctor than "do a bit of leetcode on a whiteboard".
Exactly. Somehow there is this impression that software engineers are having it really hard and they face worst job requirements/interviews.
I'd imagine software/IT might be only place where people who have delivered a couple of toy sized, half-assed webapps are now experts commenting on 'engineering challenges' and 'industry trends' with profundity.

They go through several years of medical residency under supervision before becoming a full fledged doctor and are burdened by expensive liability insurance and ongoing education requirements. That takes care of the competency beforehand.
I'm always curious how people interview doctors. As bad as getting a bad programmer might potentially be, getting a bad doctor must be exponentially worse, so you'd think they'd have vetting the unqualified folks down to a science by now.
