Diversity in Medical school

[PondPopper]

The consequences of their actions always expose their true agenda, so pay attention..
Mass chaos and confusion is what they are serving up.
Divide and conquer!!

We are truly in a battle of good versus evil.
Biblical stuff fellas.

I research any and all medical professionals I use. I read reviews, research their school history, and anything else. And I don’t mind traveling. Wife and I have used Drs in Houston, Corpus, San Antonio, and Dallas in last three years

It is not just medical school. My son who had never made less than straight A's in his high school career will be a senior at A&M and was told by the advisors 3 years ago, "You ain't gettin into Mechanical Engineering white boy. You better change your degree plan." So he will be graduating with a degree in Industrial Engineering in the fall. With a rich family heritage at A&M I wanted to drive to college station and burn the F....... place down!

I was trying to keep this about medical school and doctors but..... My son graduated A&M aerospace eng. He said it was too easy as they lowered the bar so much so certain people could pass.
These type degrees just cost us all money in a round about way.

Medical on the other hand is freaking scary. You have a heart attack or need surgery fast you better hope you get a good doctor.

Glen - How do you research their school history?

This is the same medical field that the government used to shoved C19 mandates into everyone.

I have way to many loved dealing with lifelong complications from doctors advice to ever trust another one from the same pipeline.

DEI is real and our grandkids will really suffer the brunt of it

If folks get suck in a building during a tornado or Stuck on a table after a heart attack I guarantee 100% of our woke friends quit caring about skin color and start worrying about class rankin………or the stupid is so strong it just never occurs to them as the drift into the great beyond.

My son was a mechanical engineer at the University of Houston. He was one of the only whites male in every engineering class he took. I'm thrilled he graduated and is doing great (off my payroll and providing grandchildren).

The hiring standards for Fire Departments have gone in the crapper for quota's over quality, it's an absolute joke.

If somebody would have told my son that, and thats what my son wanted to do....rest assure after the dust settled my son would be a Mechanical Engineer.

After all is said and done, this career plan will enable himself to be in a bit more open environment. Allowing him to perhaps experience more than numbers, and math. I would like for him to venture into sales, with an engineering background.
However, moving universities was simply not an option, to guarantee the M.E. degree. He loves College Station.

My son is going through it now. Applied twice and by the numbers should be a walk in. He finished graduate school this year and will give it 1 more shot on my dime. Another option is to let the military put you in. There ar advantages and disadvantages. G-d bless yours and mine for doing something I couldn’t and chasing their dreams.

The military Health Professions Scholarship program is the way to go IMO—although payback is several years.

I work at a medical school in Houston, 29 years on. UT Houston medical school accepts 240 students each year. We get ~ 6000 applications per year. We are one of the largest classes at a medical school. By Texas law, 90 % of students have to be Texas residents. Baylor Med School across the street is private, they can admit who they want. 240 students out of 6000 applicants, it's very hard to get in. One thing I tell every person that wants to go to med school, is to volunteer, that's one big thing they look for here. Community service.

So inform us (if you know). How much does race factor into getting accepted? How does it work exactly?

Yep, our son graduated from UT (yuck) in 2016 with a BS In Chemistry, and again from UT (yuck) with a Dr of Pharmacy, both times he was one of the few light skinned/ American born/ American name and even male grads. I would have hated to have been the MC as I couldn't pronounce 95% of the names.

I could not tell you, but what I know is you have to get an invitation to interview, then interview with the admitting committee individually, impress them. Most lean left. I believe it’s on a grading system, then best score gets you in. This is my thinking, I’m not speaking on behalf of the school. You might impress one or more, but not others. I see the students the first 4 months of their career. I house their first patients. The students are diverse and grateful for the opportunity to be there. All kinds of backgrounds.

I don't care if 100% of students are the same race as long as they all were the smartest/brightest people. Now if he was one of the few white skinned people because other white skinned people got passed over for others with lower grades that's a problem.
