Penn medical school expands minority candidate program that does not require MCAT
The College Fix ^ | August 24, 2022 | Jacob Shields

The University of Pennsylvania expanded a program that admitted minority and other underrepresented college applicants into its Perelman School of Medicine under special criteria, including waiving the Medical College Admission Test requirement.

The program has “officially broadened” this year to include students from Howard University, Oakwood University, Xavier University of Louisiana, Morehouse College and Spelman College, according to a Perelman School of Medicine news release.

The Penn Access Summer Scholars program selects a group of diverse college candidates to complete two eight-week summer mentorship sessions with medical professionals.

Upon completion, students may be eligible for early admission into Penn’s Perelman School of Medicine, contingent upon the successful completion of “three semesters of a roster of rigorous science courses” and completion of AP credit in at least one STEM field or “evidence of strong ability on timed, multiple-choice tests in STEM courses,” according to Bryn Mawr’s website describing the program.

They recently made the USMLE Step 1 exam (taken by medical students) pass/fail so that minorities won't look bad on their residency applications.

Will this be like that one time that they let chick engineers design a bridge, except this will be for people?

Further eroding any remaining trust in the medical community.

This is not fair to black people. In light of this sort of thing, who in their right mind would go to a black doctor if they had a choice?

There are not enough quality minority candidates for the elite medical schools so they are just minting more. Job done. Here, too, I think is Penn trying to get dibs and steal a march on other med schools.

Demonrats complain endlessly about white supremacists under every bush, but every one of their actions screams that they truly believe all brown people are inferior and the only way they can possibly compete is to remove all measurement of standards for them

Yep, Asian doctors are top of my list, followed by white and Jewish. That is, if I trusted doctors ever again. 🤔

Cool. Next time you go to a new doctor, and you’re not too sure about his creds, just check the wall in his waiting room. If you see anything with ‘UPenn’ on it, turn around and walk right on out.

When your goal is a worldwide 30% reduction in populations this makes perfect sense.

10 years from now: Dems propose a bill to ban patients from asking any hospital or medical establishment of any kind which doctors, or whether any doctors, at said establishment, took and passed the MCAT. Because equity.

By all means, let’s let in people who can’t pass anatomy, physiology, and organic chemistry. They will make fantastic doctors!
