which is controlled by state agencies in each state.
The National Board of Medical Examiners which administers the US Medical Licensing Exam just happens to be made up of AMA members. You can't get licensed in any state without passing this exam first.
- jmye 3y agoWhat power are you implying that gives them? Do you think they’ve written the test? Do you think they’re failing people who don’t kowtow to the AMA?
- jqpabc123 3y agoDo you think they've written test? Do you think someone else is responsible? Who would these mystery people be? This test is the gateway to a license to practice medicine. No other union has this sort of legal control over their own industry. They can easily use this test to limit the number of people who are licensed to practice medicine and thus keep salaries of their membership high.
- jmye 3y agoYes, it’s probably the licensing test, rather than the years of medical school and residency that are weeding people out. Are you aware of the pass/fail rate on the license exams?
