Though I would add that looking back to when I was an IC, my Computer Science degree hadn't given me much if any formal training in Software Engineering (especially in a large team and code base) and I mostly learnt by doing that also.



The industrial/corporate training provided at the university level is generally very very low. Doctors/Dentists/medical professionals are often thrust into systems where they are expected to handle billing and patients and paperwork and legal responsibilities. Experience during a residency is not sufficient if you are essentially starting your own business, even if you are joining an existing office.

Becoming an employer with responsibility for employee supervision, benefits, payroll, rent, etc is ignored in medical school.
