"credentials are considered netural bc they are bureaucratically conferred, whereas ascribed categories are not highly formalized & are socially illegitimate means of status differentiation..race is produced via bureaucractic processes." journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… @victorerikray

Paging AAMC ERAS

Also, one day we need to talk about how the entire process from applying to med school to paying for licensure exams (and associated resources) to sub-I’s to applying for residency is not a process that is made for us first gen/underserved folk. My bank account is weeping.

Just a quick point of clarity… Students for Ethical Admissions has no connection to Students for Fair Admissions. Unlike them (and despite what you may have been told!), we were actually formed by students…

Seems like this website might be about to go the way of the dinosaurs, so here’s one last call to our buddy Alex… if you’re out there, get in touch! We miss you!

Hey #MedTwitter! Are you at AAMC's Learn, Serve, Lead conference in Nashville? Be sure to join our friend Jay Rosner of the Princeton Review Foundation to discuss systemic disparities in med school admissions at tomorrow's Table Topics Lunch! 11:45am, Table 131! #AAMC22

Sounds familiar (though somehow handled slightly better)

Remember when we said that the way AAMC was handling the pandemic would lead to talented, capable students being kept out of medical school? And they were so determined to shut us down that they hired a PR firm and invented the ‘Fauci Effect?’ We remember! #WaiveTheMCAT

This is your reminder that the #MCAT was specifically developed to keep "undesirable populations" from overwhelming medical school matriculant numbers. Such a test could "only be passed" by those who “should” become physicians, and would weed out the "undesirables."

Harvard Medical School is withdrawing from the U.S. News & World Report “best medical schools” survey and rankings hvrd.me/vNW150MsFYz

Throwback in honor of Harvard Medical School dropping out of the US News & World Report rankings today 👇 Change is slow, but change IS possible. #MedTwitter #PreMedTwitter

Rumor has it that Stanford will announce today that they’ll no longer participate in the USNWR medical school rankings (joining Harvard and Columbia). So who wins - and who loses - when the big names leave USNWR? Time to break it down, Winners & Losers™️ style. 🧵
