Are you a physician, work in medical education, or have some other sort of broader source of information than that of a patient? I've primarily had experience as a patient, but it certainly wasn't what you describe. Obviously anybody limited to a patient's perspective wouldn't have anything more than anecdotal data.
Though back in the day, I did support for a CD-ROM based CME product... It was simple software so most of the people who called were in their 70s and 80s and not very comfortable with technology. They all seemed pretty concerned with learning the new stuff.
I worked along side physicians for several years. I'm still in healthcare but more corporate. I have interacted with physicians as a clinician, business partner, and patient. They love to learn that's no doubt. But the OP content was about changing their prescription protocols based on some hacked together ML that has no traditional clout. That was never going to fly; not without some [insert specialty] doctor's endorsement or some medical journal nods.
When it comes to the business of healthcare, doctors are generally open to things that will make their jobs easier (they are money motivated creatures too). But, they don't necessarily like learning new things themselves. As a whole, they are rather resistant to change. It took a long time to incorporate any technology bedside (e-charts, etc).
As a patient, I/family has been referred to other doctors specifically because they were younger or knew their education differed in a meaningful way. The old guy knew his ways were outdated and we would benefit from the new ways. So he was aware of the new way, but wasn't practicing it.
