I see what you mean, but most doctors will never be called up to handle an outbreak; to keep using the same metaphor, it's more like the ability to recognize the occasional patient with a rare disease. But then again, they'll refer them to a specialist, not cure them on their own.

Maybe the closest analog is flight training. Crashes are rare, but every pilot needs to train on how to avoid one.
