If a doctor from NC wants to practice in another State, he has to pass that State's exam. <br /><br />So, if Fla. docs end up the worst, they still have to pass the same State exams as NC docs to practice here. As long as we don't dumb our exams down to much, we can still keep the quality of out med pros fairly high. At least until the NAACP sues us for racism!Roger Uhttp://nclinksandthinks.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-16689280075313042852012-11-20T11:15:04.100-05:002012-11-20T11:15:04.100-05:00It won't have any effect on who gets into med ... It won't have any effect on who gets into med school. Even if you get through med school, you still have to pass exams to get your license. <br /><br />Haven't they been dumbed down as the rest of schooling? The civil service test wasn't easy when I took it. Then they kept dumbing it down until they finally just got rid of it.

The affirmative action students will not be as qualified as the top group (Asians, apparently). Somehow, that's considered acceptable.
