You're right, it's in the dictionary, using pasante for doctors. However, what I am trying to say:

as a normal everyday user, not related at all with the medical or legal profession, I find more technical, more far-fetched the word pasante applied to doctors.

It's not the same case with that word applied to lawyers/notaries, in that case it sounds more normal in everyday usage.

Anyway the word 'pasante' would not be in the mid-low class average speaker vocabulary.

Cheers
