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.
I definitely take your point. So much of how the Capitol forces Panem to function requires restricting information. The only problem I keep coming up against is that I think there's a higher level of medical services available in One, Two, and Four (at the very least, if not also the middle districts) than what we see in Twelve, because I think there have to be some rewards that come with loyalty (plus a need to not see all their slaves wiped out in one bad bout of flu), but I struggle with where the districts would get the resources to do proper medical training (I'm planning a longer post on population speculation).
Maybe, instead of personnel from Three, there are doctors in the Capitol rotating out to the districts? There doesn't seem to be any limit to how much the Capitol will show the districts about how opulent their life is, and there does have to be some level of work engaged in by most Capitol citizens. Perhaps taking a rotation in One or Two is the sort of thing that doctors in the Capitol have to go through, like the way the US medical system sends young doctors through interships?
I do think internships for the smartest kids in the career districts with the existing medical personnel in the districts are part of how this could work, I just... keep thinking that there needs to be more, or else the careers would be suffering a lot more than the Captiol might find profitable. Plus, medical training is just so crazy resource-intensive.
