The essay section is out and sociology is in, and test-takers will need to be as familiar with psychology terms, such as “reciprocal determinism,” as they are with organic chemistry.
...
[A] large new section—one quarter of the test—covers psychology, sociology and the biological foundations of behavior. Official review material includes concepts such as social inequality, class consciousness, racial and ethnic identity, “institutionalized racism and discrimination” and “power, privilege and prestige.”

The committee considered making the test pass/fail. “There was some sentiment that a person’s future shouldn’t rest on a mathematical score,” said Dr. Lucey. But it was ultimately decided that reporting scores gave admissions committees more flexibility.

Doctors who took the MCAT years ago, however, might be surprised by some of the new content.
“This is not science. [It’s] agenda-driven garbage,” said Ronald Hansing, a pathologist in Columbia, Mo., who earned his M.D. in 1975, of the sociology material posted online by the Khan Academy, which worked with the AAMC to create 900 free videos to help students prepare.

Future “doctors” in what was once America,
will not have to wash their hands,
will not have to recite the Hippocratic Oath,
... but will have to agree to murder their patients
on any orders of either the IRS or the EXEMPT
(whose families and staff might need new organs).
And all doctors will take the Obamacare loyalty oath. The last thing I want to hear from my surgeon is a lecture about white privilege.
This is what real black lists look like.
Another once-great profession brought down by radical liberalism.
Uhhhh, what about the patient?
I want the smartest doctor working on me.
Interesting. THE FIVE spoke yesterday about “personality tests” that more employers are utilizing. While most on the panel seem to endorse it, I couldn’t help but think it was a continuation of the Common Core agenda and if you didn’t fit the atheist, socialist model—you wouldn’t get the job. I wonder who the money is behind the test. It might be interesting if it was connected to the Soros/Gates publishing connections.
I'll tell my doctor about that next time I get my weight and blood pressure checked.

they’ll have to learn this nonsense in order to at least fake it if necessary.
Liberal elite 'educators' dumbing down the medical profession...
