We have a reasonable source for 70%[0].
There are a number of anti-Anki users (and to be honest, I don't blame them: there's 30k+ cards that they should learn in the 'meta' decks, and our onboarding is lacking). They've got an abusive workload.
The longer I'm US med-adjacent, the more jaded I become. There's continuing score creep, and this is due to the bar being raised[1], in order to maintain a failure rate.
I believe there's systematic academic misconduct due to the pressure to publish. The AVERAGE successfully matched neurosurgery resident has 37.4 research items (papers/presentations/abstracts)[2].
