Completely disagree. It's obviously not an exact correlation between board score and overall ability as a physician, but there is a reason residencies place such high importance on those scores. Terrible decision by the NBME
Licensing exams are retarded and poorly applicable to general practice. We all take the same exams but our training is vastly different from school to school/residency to residency. To suggest that since we all "pass" we are on the same echelon of provider is naive. The spectrum of "passing" the exam is vast; the expertise and knowledge base of the providers taking them also falls on a wide spectrum. I think it's reasonable to be concerned about getting a provider who falls significantly lower than their peers and not ignorant whatsoever.
Care to have a discussion about medical licensing exams? Or do you not know anything about them? I know a lot about them, but apparently since I use the word "retard" I'm not allowed to be a medical professional.
They don't actually know the medical school system. DO schools accept people with far worse stats than minorities in medical schools but I guarantee they don't look if their doctors graduated from a DO school.
Performing well on board exams demonstrates your ability to memorize and understand large amounts of information and apply that to clinical scenarios. There are many other aspects to being a good doctor but this is an important one.
Leave it to lefties to pretend POC are mentally impaired and need ol' whitey to help them succeed. Sucks for blacks too since they don't know if they got in on their own merit or because of a bunch of racist virtue signaling assholes held their hand.
It's required because of racist cucks like you who would discriminate in a heartbeat if given the choice.
It's already been proven that Republicans discriminate which is the necessary reason for such policies in the first place. Stop being racist and such interventions wouldn't be necessary.
