That is not how hospitals work. The surgery departement won't have a crack team of different disciplines to teach budding surgeons everything. They'll only have veteran surgeons to guide less-experienced surgeons.

What you will have is interdepartmental cooperation / hand-off, and you'll have multi-discipline roles like surgical oncologist.

In the same way, you won't have DevOps seniors training front-end juniors.

A surgery team has a surgeon an anesthesiologist, a nurse specialized on material handling overseeing the material usage in the procedure, maybe a nurse specialized on equipment handling. None of those people are junior or subordinated to the others.
