I'm not super familiar with doctors' career progression but as I understand they have a residency which is basically a super long training / interview. And I bet to become a surgeon at an elite institution you have spent a lot of time being watched doing your job.

Also another good example is cooks, who get hired based on working a shift unpaid to see how they fit with the team.

Asking for a hands on demo is pretty common.

The important distinction here is that a doctor has to complete a residency only once in their lifetime, not every time they apply for a job.

Sure, but residency lasts 3 to 7 years and it is often harsh. I'll take the whiteboarding anyday.
