@melina_manolas Heard this and passing it along for this instance: "They steal your beauty and then sell it back to you."

The term professionalism in the mouth of an un-self-examined power-over-holder sometimes masks what is actually your garden variety prejudicial, explicit bias. Explore this gift article from The New York Times. Read it for free without a subscription. https://t.co/TBSgYODpnw

Health, computer science, and engineering college departments have seen a surge of completed undergraduate degrees in the decade since 2011. https://t.co/nL5verUzH6 via @visualcap

@JoinModulo Maybe today Albert Einstein would call them inadequately educated minds

[Janet Snoyer @BigRedPremed]

SJTs assess professional skills that are otherwise hopelessly impossible to measure objectively. Thus they are touted as fair and unbiased, because "objective = fair and subjective = unfair." What a convenient way to short-circuit and devalue human judgment in live interactions.

[Janet Snoyer @BigRedPremed]

SJTs are used to blunt-screen in residency application, as a way of winnowing applicants because, it is justified, there are too many applicants for too few spots and not enough screeners with the bandwidth and discernment to pick the very most suitable applicants. Is this fair?

[Janet Snoyer @BigRedPremed]

It may be ironic, paradoxical, mystifying and perhaps even hypocritical to require applicants to pay for a test under the pretense that it is used in the admissions selection process when it is actually much more commonly used to predict correlates of medical student performance.

[Janet Snoyer @BigRedPremed]

SJTs are recommended or required by some medical schools as part of the application applicants submit. Some schools want Casper, some want PREview™. All implicitly expect applicants to pay for the test and to distribute it. Yet few schools actually use the exam in selection. hm

[Janet Snoyer @BigRedPremed]

Situational Judgment Tests (SJTs) have different roots. Casper is from McMaster, a Canadian university, where the Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) was born PREview™ Professional Readiness Exam is from the AAMC. Both were formulated and normed from rigorous research over many years.

@BarnettRebeccaL Love those clear beautiful blue eyes gazing into the future. Here's a chance to mingle with kindred spirits. https://t.co/uv9f7tQTep

If you have nothing for this category now, think of how you might engage with the people most directly––and adversely––affected by the social determinants of health. Get serious about being the change you want to see in the world of healthcare. 3/3

[Janet Snoyer @BigRedPremed]

This category is of critical interest to admissions committees, reflecting the priority medical educators are placing on your willingness to learn about the inequities in the US health care delivery system through your lived experience. 2/3

[Janet Snoyer @BigRedPremed]

For those applying this May 2023 to medical school, don't be surprised when you see the categories of work/activities in the AMCAS primary application. This year for the first time, you can select a category of social justice/advocacy. 1/1

@BeckyBitsie @notrobwalker Your mom likely sent you her stuff so you could share in her delight in those things, help her to purge them by offloading them to you to enjoy with less attachment, and donate, and to protect you from having to shovel out her life after she has moved on from the material plane.

[Janet Snoyer @BigRedPremed]

says it so well

@melina_manolas @MontefioreEndo Congratulations, Melina! You have always wanted to pierce those invisible divisions ("saran wrap") and bring equity to ALL. Your spirit is true to your purpose!
