Maybe the tests are not testing the right skills.
As a patient I want to see the best doctor possible, and if they have retrofitted their bodies to be more competent at treating conditions I would totally want that.
Furthermore, your assumption is that a cheater will be the best doctor. It's not about the method - it's about the integrity. My assumption is that any person taking shortcuts like this to get their degree will also take shortcuts with my personal health, which is not a comforting thought.
The scenario in the article is very different than a potential doctor being upfront about having implants installed to aid them in their duties.
You're making generalizations based on proxy information, which is basically the same thing that a test does you're just using a different set of information to key off of.
Not that there isn't some signal in the pile of noise that you're picking through but a willingness to circumvent academic requirements isn't exactly a strong indicator of performance in the field. Competent professionals fudge requirements they consider to be irrelevant all the time (inb4 no true Scotsman).
That's because they know more than the people who wrote the requirements, because the requirements were written 15 years ago when the medical profession as a whole knew a lot less about $INSERT_CONDITION_HERE.
You'll also notice that those requirements are explicitly written to permit fudging. “Two or more of the below”, “most of these”, “one or more”, “or other reason” etc..
Real doctors can already use external information anyway. They just use the computer, no need to Bluetooth themselves.
By analogy, bringing all the printed books or hard drives you want into a chess match might help you with the opening, but not the rest of the game. These days there are chess engines, but before that, cheating required a human accomplice who was a good player, who knew what was on your board and could tell you the right move. My old club had an incident of a guy doing that using hand signals.
Now they won't let you bring any devices at all into chess tournaments, even mechanical wristwatches. A pity. Garry Kasparov famously used to fidget with his watch while playing. You could tell how good his game was by noticing whether the watch was on his wrist or on the table.
Perhaps the medical field is radically different - but I'd wager there's a whole lot of benefit that's been delivered to healthcare by giving doctors access to the internet so they don't need to focus so much of their time on trying to recall vague facts from twenty years prior in school and residencies.
