The Test that Grades Doctors, the Elite Wants to Nerf that Too
Posted by Stingray on 6/18/19 at 6:10 am332
Just read in a Medscape article that the USMLE will be changed in some way. Goal is to deemphasize the score, because they believe the score isn't that important and they want the races to score the same.
More self-contradictory shite from our betters who will institute Marxism to enslave us.

Sounds like all the D.O.s and Caribbean M.D.s are celebrating.

This is just the preliminary recommendations and feedback phase, isn't it? Nothing official.
What's the gist of it? Move to pass-fail scoring? De-emphasize Step 1 scoring for residency selection?

Well other countries have "ok" docs. Why do we need to be the only country with excellent docs? We're being divisive. Accept mediocrity and you will be OK too.

Goal is to deemphasize the score
Medschools increasingly use pass-fail constructs with heavy emphasis on Step 1 Board (USMLE 1) prep. That trend began when class rank was deemed very important for top-residency qualification. HarvardDukeStanford-types squawked that their classes were more competitive therefore rank comparisons between their students vs State MedSchool attendees was unfair. Residencies nonetheless continued class rank emphasis. So "elite schools" ceased assigning grades or publishing class rank.
Residencies were forced to look at other comparatives. Because grades were indeterminate, residencies relied heavily on USMLE scores. Step 1 more than Step 2. Exam scores (like SAT/ACT for college entrance) provided some commonality for rating intellectual and focused learning capacity.
So we've done away with grades.
Now we're getting rid of USMLE scores? My suspicion is there will still be score-based assessment. If not though, the more opaque the information, the more it will favor Private (More expensive) MedSchools ... The Ivys, Duke, Stanford, Emory, etc.
At present an LSU 3rd-year with a great Step 1 score is treated preferentially over a Duke or Yale 3rd-yr with an average score. Take the scores away, and the same LSU applicant will be underselected for residency.

I posted the gist, what you're looking for is the specifics.

AOC, Kim Kardashian, Tammy P. Whitetrash and Chantelle will all become doctors now.

All this and not a word about diversity.
You need to get your priorities straight.

Sounds like soft bigotry of low expectations. A friend of mine would resent this. His daughter recently receiving her D.O. is training in a General Surgery residency somewhere out west. I'm sure her healing hands will work as expertly as an M.D.
