re: Removing the MCAT Could Improve Diversity in Medicine

No, it would increase deaths, not diversity

It certainly would help Diversity if we were to remove all academic requirements to be a Medical Doctor and just choose our future Physicians purely on racial and gender criteria.

We should do that!

My daughters class began with about 60% females. The percentage of white males was probably 15% of the class.

Dumbass.

This is the Left killing us off.

10 years from now:

"Why is no one going to black and latinx doctors?"

Medical schools have historically been dominated by white men from privileged backgrounds, making no room for racial minorities, poor individuals, and those with other minority statuses (LGBTQ, rural, first-generation). Today, nearly one in four medical students reported coming from a home in the top 5 percent of all households with an income.

There's rhetorical slight of hand here. Do you see it? First sentence mentions how white men HISTORICALLY dominated. Then, they tell you that "today" people in the top 5% of INCOME dominate.

They're intentionally trying to get the reader to focus on white men. This isn't an accident. Because, you see, women now constitute the majority of people in medical school. But, we're not allowed to be mad at white women!!!!

The world of medicine will survive non-merit based selection, but a lot of patients won't until the market sorts it out.

Every step of the admissions process has been designed to keep me and other individuals underrepresented in medicine, including black and Latino applicants, out of medical school.

So they're only trying to keep out black and Latino people? Why would they not also try to keep out the Asian, middle Eastern and Indian potential medical professionals that saturate the field as well? I mean, if it's wypipo and racism, I'd think they'd want to put Chinaman, dot head and goat herder in their place too, no?

These people are beyond retarded. Progressivism really is mental illness.

WRONG. The entire process is designed to weed out those who likely aren't mentally equipped to be doctors.

If the MCAT requirement is removed, then I would probably not want to see a minority MD who became a doctor AFTER the requirement was lifted.

Sorry, but the reason I go to a doctor is to protect my health, not virtue signal that diversity is important to me (which it is not).

For the record, my regular doctor is a Filipino woman, my dentist is a woman, and both are terrific. The fact that they are women simply isn't important. They came highly recommended, so I followed the recs of people I trust.
