What Happens When You Pass Medical Students Without Regard for Merit?

The war on Merit has reached medical schools. Are we shocked? Thread Reader

What happens is you have "doctors" who don't know medicine, who don't know anatomy, and who can't reason their way to a diagnosis. What could possibly go wrong?

“Remedial medical education for a med school grad who’s been accepted into a respected residency program?!” So I looked into it for you.

Over the last 20 yrs it has indeed become a subject of considerable interest. Colorado’s med residency program started rem ed in 2006 when …

1 in 16 med residents were found to be “struggling with basic clinical reasoning including … differential diagnosis”. By 2021 1 in 6 needed remedial med education.

This is happening because actual standards of what you need to learn have been replaced with social justice crap. That may work fine for "studies" majors, but these "doctors" are going to kill people.
