I can't remember how long ago, but I read or heard about a few studies that show you're better off going to a freshly minted doctor, at least in the US. They'll not have had the time to build a cynicism around "what they learned is all they need to know".

I know Dr's learn a lot throughout their career, but after they get into a practice they just don't have the time they did in medical school (or won't spend the time), and the trajectory flattens.
