I can tell you for a fact that I have had several Master Doctors that I have not done anything to create. When your tribe gets large, the puzzles are mostly solved, etc., you'll find that you'll get Master Doctors, Master Researchers, Master Builders, Master Farmers that really motivate themselves. At the same time, you'll also end up with 70 year olds with absolutely not skill one after all that time unless you bully them into it.

So, I'm quite confident that there is no automatic programming that turns off Adept Doctors ability to self-teach.
