I'm filing this under "things that are obvious."

To become a dermatologist, you need to graduate from college with good grades overall and good grades in science courses, including calculus, physics, general and organic chemistry, and biology, and you need good scores on the MCAT. Then you need to
complete medical school and pass the USMLE (I think) with good enough grades and scores to get accepted into a dermatology residency, which is highly competitive.

These are highly g-loaded accomplishments. I would not be surprised if they did signify that someone was in the top 2% of the intelligence distribution.
