My school, which is the run of the mill state school, has notoriously hard clinical rotations. I know you are saying "Yeah, Yeah, we all do!!" and that may be true as well but that doesn't change the basic question that I am having trouble phrasing here. Everyone at our school w/ the exception of 1 to 5 students (out of the total class) gets a high pass in every rotation. It doesn't matter how much interest you show what your career plans are etc. It is almost impossible to score as low as a pass and just as impossible to score an honors. Everyone is high pass. There is no grade inflation or deflation. I don't even know why there are grades. They should just give one student an award for outstanding preformance in each rotation. What this all equates to is a bunch of students from a average med school getting B's in the rotations they want to match in. How can this be productive? Our residency match list from the last several years says that it probably isn't. From what I read on this network most programs expect you to honor the rotation you want to match in. This is Basically impossible for me. I mean I have resigned myself to the fate so I am basically just b!thcing here but whats the point of this strategy?
