If medical schools are willing to consider applicants who have not taken the MCAT, is it appropriate for the AAMC - the test’s corporate sponsor - to issue a statement arguing that they shouldn’t?
Why should the AAMC have *anything* to say about it?
Hey pre-meds and medical students!
Wonder where your MCAT and ERAS fees are going?
Don’t worry - they’re being put to good use!

Recently @jbcarmody presented Grand Rounds at my institution @LoyolaHealth on "The Rise and Fall of Step 1". No one is more knowledgeable on this subject & there isn't a more effective student advocate. He has kindly put a version online, so don't miss it!

An incredible lecture about the history of the USMLE. I implore all those involved in #MedEd and #GME (especially all PDs) to give this a listen. Huge thanks to @jbcarmody for the history lesson and perspective and for making this universally available.

Since the @NBOME blocked me I am calling all future and present DOs to unite to call for the end of the NBOME. They have profited off of us for long enough #MedTwitter
Because residency applicants pay per application, the AAMC and ERAS have an incentive to encourage as many applications as possible... while simultaneously giving programs the tools to avoid having to read those applications.
@NBOME Has blocked me for expressing my views against them. They are not allowed to do this if they are a public institution. This violates Twitter policy @Twitter#medtwitter
@AOAforDOs@NBOME I will be reporting this to twitter. You are not allowed to block accounts as a public institution. This is censorship and a violation of Twitter policy
