re: RACISM: The fact that black doctors don't have to meet the same high standards as white

I don’t know.
Plenty black females are working twice as hard to get half as far…so they say often.
The engineers I’ve worked with show up late, leave early so maybe so.

Do you believe getting accepted to medical school is the same as passing medical board exams? Because that’s what you’re smugly implying.
Medical school seats are not an infinite resource.
Every seat taken by an individual unsuited to successfully complete the program is a seat denied to someone else that perhaps had better chances.
Resulting in one of two things; fewer doctors entering practice OR woefully under qualified doctors entering practice.
Neither result is optimal.
But hey, at least it's "equitable", right?

4Cubs, come on girl. Jeebus!
Do you think there is a significant number of people getting into med school that don’t finish?
Lots of under-performing minorities that are failing out of med school and owing >$100,000 in med school loans without a DR degree?
You know the answer without looking it up.

Tomorrow she'll be bitching about blacks and browns being over represented in upside down studen loans, too dumb to realize her soft racism of low expectations set it all up.

What does any of this have to do with what I posted?
Unless you’re saying doctors who pass medical boards are woefully under qualified? Which is a whole different topic.
The poster said accepting people with lower MCAT scores into medical school is the same as lowering the standards to practice medicine, which makes no sense. Your post also makes no sense in the context of the discussion.
But go off.

I’ve never given this any thought. I’m tired of people intentionally misrepresenting the stupid arse tweets they post. The tweet is about admissions and the guy is ranting about standards to practice medicine.
Being accepted to a graduate program isn’t the same as obtaining a professional license. Let’s just be honest. You can be angry about people with lower MCAT scores getting accepted to medical school. That’s not the same as lowering the standards to practice medicine based on demographics.

Asian students are the biggest victims of DEI. They would make up the majority of Ivy League students if it was based on test scores alone.

Let me type slower.
Limited seats taken by under qualified candidates leads to fewer or less qualified doctors or both.
Another point that another poster already made is those that DO get all the way through are second guessed due to these practices.

In your mind, this = lowering the standards to practice medicine based on demographics.
Type super duper slow this time and see if it helps you make sense.

Seats are not the reason why medical schools are so comically difficult to get into. It’s the extreme lack of residency spots combined with an applicant pool that has insanely inflated academic stats.
Osteopathic medical schools are a little more forgiving when it comes to GPA and MCAT scores, but they still have high standards for admission.

Right because low math scores make the best accountants.
I’m not arguing your point. But accounting has little to do with the numbers and more to do with how expenses and income are defined. That’s completely off topic, more a “did you know” factoid.

This will in fact have the opposite effect those pushing this agenda wanted

Is this just for admission to the school? They still have to pass once they get in. I agree admissions should be fair.

Where would the pass / fail score place on the prior scoring system.
In short, if “pass fail” is based on the lowest “D” on an A,B,C,D,F scale, then doctors that are barely passing are being treated as though they are A students.
That can’t be a good thing.

If a D is passing, doctors with Ds passed and got the same credentials as doctors who passed with As prior to the shift anyway.

I wonder if lowering standards on entry if these classes end up with quite a few more D students... oh well, it doesn't matter, a D is just as good as an A. Nothing at all different between the top and bottom of the class.

Board exams aren’t classes.
Posted on 1/29/26 at 9:07 pm to 4cubbies
So, as an educator, you equate A’s with D’s?
You really are quite stupid.
You really are quite stupid.

She only cares about how virtuous and caring she sounds, not about the possibility that actual lives are affected by these illogical decisions.
