At the start of this year, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), which runs the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS), announced a revamp of its pricing structure to reduce costs for applicants and ease the burden on programs. Now, preliminary AAMC data shows that, compared to recent years, residency applicants are applying to fewer programs on average and paying less during the 2025 application cycle. However, Bryan Carmody, MD, noted that "there's a certain irony in the AAMC highlighting the amount that applicants save when they're the entity that's responsible for the pricing from the beginning." https://lnkd.in/e7xhdCyz

Numerical scores for the COMLEX Level 1 were mistakenly made visible to ob/gyn programs despite the test being pass/fail. On top of that, the students themselves never saw their own scores. "We were told there is no way to access our three-digit scores, even for our own knowledge, yet here they are storing the data and releasing it without our consent," an ob/gyn applicant on the r/comlex Reddit forum told MedPage Today. Harris Ahmed, DO, MPH, told MedPage Today that because Level 1 is pass/fail, students allocate a different level of time and attention to it than if it was scored: "It's not going to be a reflection of their best effort." https://lnkd.in/eBsAWu6K
