Yeah, I know they can't, but they test for competency in medicine that almost fundamentally requires a capacity to apply complex rational thought processes (although I suppose I certain kind of idiot savant could pass muster through an absurd amount of rote memorization). I contend that's a transferable ability.
If they don't apply that capacity to one particular aspect of their life that's a choice or a character flaw, not something they were incapable of. I.e. the MD was capable of understanding the societal harms he was an accomplice in, whether or not he even got so far as to actually look at it objectively is still a choice. And like all choices it's fair game to be judged for it.

It is, but sometimes it doesn't transfer.
