“Eventually there will be a shortage of high caliber doctor students in medical school.” This has already happened thanks to affirmative action.

However, the great equalizer is the Medical Board (Specialty boards etc). You’re a number in the testing system...Not a color or gender. If you pass you are competent and qualified as it should be.

There is a massive difference between “high caliber” and “competent”. Beyond that affimitive action, years ago, put downward pressure on the caliber of students going to med school in the first place.

How’s that joke go? What do you call the person who graduates last in his class a medical school? Doctor.
