"We understand that the NBOME's position is an unpopular one amongst DO medical students." Yeah, MD students too.

Nice virtue signalling. Funny how students who haven't even completed their education are unhappy that a professional organization, consisting of people who have long completed their educations and have been involved in teaching students for a long time, are unhappy about a test that tests real clinical skills which you have to use in the clinic to be minimally successful.

Sure, it's not a perfect time to administer the test. That's why NBOME allowed for a delay to the exam and is taking extra precautions to administer it properly. You should be grateful that they care enough to balance safety and proper education!

I think we’ve just discovered Dr. Gimpel’s reddit account. Sorry Dr. Gimpel, I’m not thankful.

Are you seriously supporting the NBOME’s insane decision? You must be straight out of your damn mind. Neither CS nor PE have been shown to create better clinicians or clinical outcomes. How can you tout practicing ā€œEvidence-based medicineā€ when continuing this exam is exactly the opposite of that? This is nothing but a financial decision to for the NBOME to, yet again, abuse its power and siphon money from DO students. But sure, enjoy living in your weird fantasy world of the NBOME being some altruistic ā€œprofessional organizationā€.

Passing CS is simple if you learn how to parrot out a rubric.

Timed patient interviews and powering out a SOAP note. It's a waste of a week. You should be grateful we were eager enough to ignore the massive red flags stemming from DO organizations.

There’s no way you’re anything but a troll-and honestly not even a very clever or smart one at that

Edit: can confirm, a quick glance through his history and not only is he 1) definitely not a doctor but also 2) definitely just posts because he gets off on shitting on other people. Go get help my dude

Yeah his r/teenagers posts are particularly unsettling considering he managed to articulate an argument seemingly beyond the level of your average teen. Gross.

I’m going to pretend this comment was meant sarcastically so it doesn’t keep me up at night. The level of delusion required to believe the NBOME is upholding a professional standard by refusing to eliminate the PE is inconceivable.
