If that supposition is accurate, they are going to have some weak students and, if evaluating them fairly, are going to have to suck up the embarassment of a higher failure rate than real med schools.

The bigger concern however is not answered by having them all show mastery of the basics by passing the USMLE. The bigger problem is that they have apparently been acculturated to the profession of medicine and it’s ethics by cheats.
