If you are referring to the core competencies for admissions, Einstein Medical School has an extensive discussion of this
Course Requirements | M.D. Admissions | Albert Einstein College of Medicine
If you are referring to the educational competences for medical students, Einstein explains that as well

MCATS

To @ G wrong: AAMC_MCAT Twitter handle (no s), AAMC site (no s), AAMC ...

Just in case you want to argue (again), here's the pic of their site... notice, no (s) - it's a pet peeve of mine, always sounds so... unintelligent.

You will be taking your "boards" if you are lucky enough to make it to medical school. I would suggest that you may want to be of the mindset that "MCATs" is the proper form and hope you will get to that point

Really, it's proper form? I was always under the impression that the addition of (s) to MCAT was incorrect.

I think that you guys have bigger fish to fry than MCAT vs MCATs.

He must know something the AAMC doesn't know ...

You don't like alot, MCATs is likewise incorrect and a pet peeve

As a premed it is

no, it's really not unless you take it more than once; and it's a shame that you keep insisting it is

 

[Ad2b]

Its called a joke dear
A play on the way the docs refer to their boards

It's you... so I immediately jump to bad things...

Apologies.

 

[Toutie]

As a premed it is
as a med student it isnt
which one do you want to be?

I dunno. I'm neither a premed or a med student.

 

[Ad2b]

You're not the first woman to jump into bad things with me

That just reads wrong on sooooooooooo many levels!!!
