In a bold new approach to #admissions to our MD Program @QueensUHealth, all qualified applicants will have an equal chance of being offered an interview. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article… #innovation #meded #access
@janephilpott @QueensUHealth In a country in such bad need for doctors I'd like to think we could do better than a lottery. Next month we're touring Irish med schools with our daughter. She has little confidence that she'll get a fair shake at a Canadian med school.
@janephilpott @QueensUHealth Smart move @janephilpott - you continue to lead from the front
@janephilpott @QueensUHealth And by extension, all qualified will equally be offered positions?
@janephilpott @QueensUHealth Visionary leadership. Looking forward to learning about the outcome.
@janephilpott @QueensUHealth Woohoo. I’ve been saying this for years!
@janephilpott @QueensUHealth Great initiative. The bias exists and to me appears to have increased over the years.
@janephilpott @birgitomo @QueensUHealth The process of choosing who is qualified and who is not is still biased. The interview is still biased. But this is a great start!
@janephilpott @QueensUHealth lottery worked super well for my cousin in the Netherlands, now a gastroenterologist.
@janephilpott @QueensUHealth Congrats! Hope other universities follow your lead. So many applicants who would all make fine physicians. This will be a start to level the playing field.
