Nope, some EU countries

Which ones?

then no doubt, but one would hope most
if not all western nations do initial selection on candidates based on
intellectual ability.

On appropriate aptitude certainly, but being a doctor out in the real world
doesn't require many of the skills that "passing exams" test.

What, skills like knowledge, critical thinking & logical deduction? There's
more to being a doctor than empathising - any idiot can do that. The fact that
trainee doctors do boatloads of exams as they progress I think says it all.
