Answer:
As a species, Homo sapiens succeeded where other hominids died out because we developed a language that could be written down:
Mistakes and discoveries could be recorded for future generations. This is why we are who we are. While some animals teach their young skills, no other animal had developed written language that will outlive them. Yet.
The concept of “teacher” would be my answer, because a teacher would review whatever (and sometimes conflicting) information that has been written by long-dead researchers and relate it to those who chose to practice medicine, predating official medical schools or colleges.
Today, I would still say a teacher is “more important” (I am uncomfortable with that term; it isn’t that simple) because a teacher instructs us on our earliest lessons on how to get along with others, how to read, and basic mathematics. You can’t have a doctor who doesn’t have have a mastery of these skills. If a teacher is extraordinary, they may even inspire their students to become doctors (or artists, rocket scientists, etc.).
My answer ends there, but..
(Don’t read if you’re bored with my ramblings.) If something happened that would suddenly blinked all doctors out of existence, we would still have medical school professors, who have made careers out of creating doctors. It is not at all unreasonable that these teachers could grab reasonably smart and literate people off the street and make them passable doctors.
