Don’t forget, a medical doctor can be a C or D student and still pass. A PhD or Doctorate usually requires a B or A to pass, but not in the medical schools.

Many colleges are foregoing standardized testing requirements due to the SCAMdemic shutting down testing facilities.

MCAT isn’t the only criteria to get into med school, and is used more as a easy means to cull applicants than it is a measure of future success.

Undergrad transcripts play a larger role in determining future success in med school.

When will the brainiacs at Standford discover you can just mail them a check for 100k and they can mail you a diploma? Just think how that will drop to Standford’s bottom line...you won’t have all that over head and payroll to cover.

Just cut to the chase...

Oh this is scary. Some dopey backwater doc tried giving me a SSRI for pain a few weeks ago. Then ordered a CT scan for my lungs when the problem is in my throat.

We can now look forward to Affirmative Action medical doctors killing a lot of people through their ignorance.

You have got to be kidding me. Soon they will get rid of the licensing exams too. Would you want these people handling your medical care?

Because any idiot can perform brain surgery as long as he/she/it is of the proper liberal persuasion.

One doctor is about as good as another, no big deal.

A professor of surgery (in UK - Ed) says students have spent so much time in front of screens and so little time using their hands that they have lost the dexterity for stitching or sewing up patients.

Roger Kneebone, (no pun intended - Ed) professor of surgical education at Imperial College, London, says young people have so little experience of craft skills that they struggle with anything practical.

"It is important and an increasingly urgent issue," says Prof Kneebone, who warns medical students might have high academic grades but cannot cut or sew.

"It is a concern of mine and my scientific colleagues that whereas in the past you could make the assumption that students would leave school able to do certain practical things - cutting things out, making things - that is no longer the case," says Prof Kneebone. Stitched up

The professor, who teaches surgery to medical students, says young people need to have a more rounded education, including creative and artistic subjects, where they learn to use their hands.

Do smartphones really affect surgeons' skills?

Prof Kneebone says he has seen a decline in the manual dexterity of students over the past decade - which he says is a problem for surgeons, who need craftsmanship as well as academic knowledge.

"An obvious example is of a surgeon needing some dexterity and skill in sewing or stitching," he says.

"A lot of things are reduced to swiping on a two-dimensional flat screen," he says, which he argues takes away the experience of handling materials and developing physical skills. Students have become "less competent and less confident" in using their hands, he says.

"We have students who have very high exam grades but lack tactile general knowledge," says the professor.
