I’ve seen dozens of people in academics scoff at how ridiculous the research “arms race” is as if the students are the ones responsible for this system. “Students shouldn’t have X # of pubs” may be technically true but we’re just playing the game by the rules we’ve been given.

Wondering if any #MedTwitter folks are working on the current issue of DO students taking both USMLE and COMLEX. Seems more frustrating and less beneficial than it ever has now that Step 1 & Level 1 are both P/F. Would love to contribute to a push to reform this expensive system.

@DavidBroderDO @AOAforDOs If “appropriate licensure” is a nod to the “osteopathic distinction” argument, it makes no sense to insist on remaining separate/distinct all the way up until residency and then insist that we be treated exactly the same as our MD counterparts when it comes to residency.

@DavidBroderDO @AOAforDOs The argument that the “patient centered” language in COMLEX reinforces osteopathic teaching is also weak. There’s no way you can argue that the way you will treat patients in the future is dependent on what language you see on your board exams.

@DavidBroderDO @AOAforDOs In a world of a unified Match, increasing parity among competitive specialties, and years of the AOA saying MDs and DOs are equivalent, it seems the only time we are “unique” is when there is an opportunity to charge osteopathic medical students for more exams. Pure money grab.

@RileighT_Ricken @opmed_ Some programs definitely use not accepting COMLEX as a way to exert their bias against DOs However, is think many programs and PDs just don’t like the exam itself (longer, clunkier, more poorly written questions, lower % correct needed to pass) and want a level baseline
