What about someone who had informally studied physiology and medicine consistently since he was 5, followed the literature religiously, and had always advised people on ailments (in ways that consistently matched or even corrected what doctors did), and was able to give lengthy extemporaneous talks about medical problems and the pros and cons of treating them different ways? And the bootcamp was just plugging him into understanding of professional clinical practices and connecting him to clinics with credibility?

(That's roughly where I was before going to a programming bootcamp, mapped over to the medical world.)
