(else there has to be some kind of medical training school in the inner districts, and I'm not sure the Capital would find that a good use of resources for those districts... or maybe it is worth not allowing Threes to travel so much. IDK).
I figured it was more an apprenticeship type deal than like modern-day medical schools? So a couple promising kids a year from whatever district apprentice with the doctors in their district and are eventually let loose to practice on their own. Idk, I feel like the Capitol would not want to transport people semi-permanently or permanently to other districts? Like, train crews are probably at the station and the loading dock while supervised by Peacekeepers and that's it, and they're not in any one district for much time in a row, and Peacekeepers are fed more propaganda than anyone and probably selected for their loyalty, but I don't think you'd actually want to move people per se. Like, imagine telling a Two kid hey you're better than those outlying traitors, don't worry about their living conditions and then trying to tell that same kid hey actually we imported this outlying traitor to live in your district. Having medical staff from Three -- a district known for its rebellious tendencies -- see how the wealthier people in the nicer districts live is probably not such a safe idea, unless you plan to kill them after their rotation instead of return them to Three. Plus, it goes against the Capitol's whole divide and conquer mentality -- keep the districts separated and warring with each other. And, honestly, pretty much everyone in the districts is replaceable, so who cares if their medical care is not as good as it is in the Capitol.
