AMSA is harming medical education

January 30, 2007

Medical schools are starting to incorporate evidence-bereft alternative medicine courses. The AMSA blindly supports the beginning of the end for the traditional medical curriculum. Dr. RW with more.

Pot meet kettle! This is perfect to go along with the “clinical causation” (aka patient parroting) nonsense that is already being taught.

AMSA is a waste of time. Join the AMA student section instead.

Thank goodness we at least have foreign medical graduates who had to study things like hearts, lungs, kidneys and diseases in their medical schools.

“Thank goodness we at least have foreign medical graduates who had to study things like hearts, lungs, kidneys and diseases in their medical schools.”

….not to mention fraud, abuse, prescribing handicapped plates for themselves, etc. When you come from a land or culture where bribes,cronyism, and corruption are the modus operandi, then come to the proverbial land-o-plenty, don’t think for a minute that the sheep are safe.

Anon 2:33, I actually joined both as a first year and after going to the AMSA national convention last year I decided on the spot to have nothing to do with those lunatics again. I may disagree with specific AMA positions and/or their approach to certain political obstacles, but at least I know they aren’t completely nutters.
