Schools and their professors inhabit a different universe than their medical students:
We Need Students
Learning

Not Professors

"Some schools incorporate RFID tracking into work and student IDs. It can be used to track attendance"
Our Goals
To improve premedical clinical education, we aim to achieve the following goals:
NBME:
Free The Test
The NBME stifles
innovation by restricting access to the USMLE Step 1 to enrolled US medical students. We ask the NBME to open this test immediately to any qualified applicant.
LCME:
Student Centered Learning
The LCME should explicitly recognize the value of, and need for, student-centered learning that is outcome-driven and cost-conscious
AMA:
Optimization Guidance
The AMA should form a commission of physicians who are not full-time preclinical educators to provide guidance on optimizing learning and reducing costs.
Medical Schools
Cost-Effective
Schools must demonstrate that their programs benefit students and are cost effective. Services that do not provide value should be abandoned.
