The Step 1 medical licensing exam recently went pass/fail
Meh, the vast majority of licensing tests are pass/fail. Nobody is asking their doctor their GPA or what they made or a board exam.

Patients may not care, but licensing exam scores play a huge role in medical student' applications to residency, both helping determine subspecialty and location.

The issue with Step 1 going pass/fail is that scores were being used as a metric by residency programs in the evaluation of candidates for training programs. Those DO matter. What Harvard did was to remove a discriminator against underperforming medical students getting into competitive training programs. I think that I want my neurosurgeon to be the best available and not one chosen on social issues and that is exactly what is now happening. The “social programming” was more difficult when there was a score to discriminate between otherwise equal candidates.
