you can already google the information , the majority of a doctor's value is not in their information but their people and technical skills.

Not even that, in the last years I haven't met a single doctor who would even care. Their value is now a necessary evil, they have the legal powers to recommend you to a hospital and give prescriptions. These legal powers will be much harder to change.

Well, googling the info is one thing. But today, medicine is still mostly a know-how profession. Residency is there mostly to transmit know-how.
