ZD: You’re wrong about YU semicha. Yes, they have classes on different topics. Their website lists some areas:
Pulpit
Education
Community outreach and Campus leadership
Hospital chaplaincy
Jewish communal services
but that doesn’t mean they treat it as a professional degree like a lawyer or doctor. They simply recognize that a Rav may be expected to provide advice and/or counseling to members of his shul. They offer training so the person actually does a good job of it. They offer a public speaking course so a Rav knows how to deliver a drasha in the shul. Does that mean it’s like being a lawyer or doctor? Absolutely not! They just want someone to be able to do the best job possible.
