Let’s keep the conversation going!??? Check out Usha Lee McFarling's article on how UC Davis School of Medicine overcame challenges to diversify its student body without considering race in admissions, despite California's affirmative action ban. Challenges UC Davis School of Medicine faced in diversifying admissions: 1. Wealth and educational inequities, high education costs, and reliance on standardized tests like the MCAT. 2. California’s 1996 affirmative action ban, which reduced admissions of Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous students. 3. Resistance from alumni, donors, and faculty concerned about rankings and MCAT scores. 4. Institutional pressures to maintain rankings and selective inclusion policies. 5. Unsupportive environments and discrimination faced by underrepresented students after admission. UC Davis's Response to Diversifying Admissions: 1. Shifted focus to socioeconomic factors, prioritizing grit and perseverance over MCAT scores. 2. Diversified admissions committee to reduce bias. 3. Offered $12 million in annual scholarships and fee waivers to 40% of students. 4. Created programs to admit students committed to serving underserved communities. 5. Provided holistic support through mentorship and inclusion initiatives. 6. Developed innovative programs, like a three-year primary care pathway, to encourage underrepresented students.

The MCAT is a test of students’ determination, reasoning, and subject-matter mastery. But does it predict success in medical school? Researchers interested in improving medical school admissions have investigated this issue. Learn more at the link! #premed #meded #postbacc #healthcare #education #medicaleducation

The Supreme Court’s decision to ban race-conscious admissions has already begun to show troubling impacts on diversity in higher education, including among medical students. How will our healthcare be impacted if medical schools become less diverse? A diverse healthcare workforce benefits everyone. Not only does research continue to show that a health care workforce representative of the patients it serves improves outcomes for marginalized communities, but efforts to improve racial inequities help improve health care for people of all races and ethnicities. Plus, a diversity of thought and perspective helps propel the medical field forward, making health care better for us all. If there are fewer medical students of color coming down the pipeline, our health care workforce will lose some of that valuable diversity. There are programmatic and policy actions that can be taken despite bans on considering race in college admissions. Read more in this article from Milbank Memorial Fund: https://lnkd.in/ebXAWXwq

The medical school admissions cycle is longer than the typical college admissions cycle—longer and more complicated, because it has a primary and secondary application process. Fortunately, it follows a predictable pattern. Learn more. #premed #meded #medicalschool #medicaleducation #applicationtips

Ontario prioritizes homegrown medical students Starting in fall 2026, Ontario will limit medical school admissions for international students and will introduce new funding initiatives aimed at Ontario residents. The province plans to reserve at least 95% of medical school spots for Ontario residents, with the remaining spots allocated to students from other Canadian provinces. Only 0.26% of Ontario’s medical school enrollment is international, with only 10 among 3,833 students in the 2023-24 school year. However, Ontario will cover tuition for over 1,000 students committed to becoming family doctors in the province to support local talent further. The expanded "Learn and Stay" program, with an expected budget of $88 million, will provide tuition and educational cost coverage to 1,360 eligible undergraduates. This initiative aims to enhance access to primary care for 1.36 million more Ontarians. #Ontario, #medical_education, #family_doctors, #healthcare, #international_students, #LearnAndStay, #Ontario_students, #Study_in_Canada
