I don't have a horse in the race between orthopedists and other medical specialists, so your headline is what surprised me! When they presented the mean intelligence score for each group, I at first figured they must have re-standardized it, since obviously you don't make it through med school without being smart or at least good at faking it, but nope; those are unmodified IQ scores.
I never thought I was an IQ elitist until now, but finding out there are doctors (a lot of them) with an IQ that is literally half my IQ makes me feel uneasy. :-/
