Our hero has graduated. Coronavirus is almost done (thanks to President Biden’s scientific rule, the virus began to decline weeks before he took office). It is time to resume publication of Medical School 2020, the book that explains what it is like to be a medical student in the U.S.
We previously published Year 1 and Year 2 (refresh your memory regarding these weekly diary entries on the book web site). So we’ll start with Year 3 tomorrow.
Please send the mystery doctor my congratulations. Do you know what they call the person who finishes medical school in last place?
“Doctor”!
White males were tending to do well on the tests that established rankings of medical students, so those tests were changed to pass/fail in 2020. Going forward, there will be nobody who finishes in last place! https://twitter.com/nejm/status/1275066012245700616?lang=en
Great advance in medical education! Now that there is no scoring per item it is easy to fail undesirables.
Linked chapters please!! Do you really expect people to remember what week was the last one they read?
I recommended the book to several people and they’ve asked! This is great news!
Congratulations to Doctor Dangerously. It’s been one hell of an adventure for him and for us! And I really mean that, it’s been an eye-opening education, and bravo! to him and all the effort you folks put in to provide us all with this unprecedented insight. I haven’t ever seen anything else like it.
I agree with J above that the book would be more useful if the indexing was better.
Terrific that this is back. I am looking forward to it.
