Look at grade averages for med schools over time.
Also if the school is willing to bend their standards on admissions, who’s to say they won’t bend their standards on grading? It’s also almost impossible to get fired from a residency program once you get in, graduation rates are near 95%…
I already don’t trust MD’s compared to DO’s because MD schools nearly all got rid of grading and all classes are pass/fail which encourages doing just well enough to pass. DO schools meanwhile continue to grade students which encourages excellence.

- hospitalJail 3y agoWishful thinking. The Physician club is one of back scratching, not critical evaluation. The Physician->AMA->ACGME->Physician pipe benefits everyone involved. What's the worst thing that could happen? Malpractice lawsuits have doctors win 50% of the time when there is strong evidence, and 90% of the time when there is weak evidence. The rich created a cartel and the feedback loop is already here.
- crackercrews 3y agoIIRC some med schools are getting rid of grades in favor of pass/fail. This makes it hard to tell which students are great and which ones barely passed.
