Who says conscription has to be non-selective?

There's already something of a seperate draft for medical personel.

Huh? Please explain. There are no draftees in service.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. There is already the
structure of a seperate, targeted program in existence, but it has not
been "turned on".

"The Health Care Personnel Delivery System (HCPDS) is a standby plan
developed for the Selective Service System at the request of Congress.
If needed it would be used to draft health care personnel in a crisis.
It is designed to be implemented in connection with a national
mobilization in an emergency, and then only if Congress and the
President approve the plan and pass and sign legislation to enact it."

Sort of like registering for Selective Service when there is no draft.
