AAMC responds to MCAT court decisionFrom: Dean Huffman . (dean@thehuffpeople.net)Sun Nov 5 17:58:54 2006
.. AAMC responds to MCAT court decision On Nov. 2, the California Superior Court ruled that California state laws can be used to determine whether individuals with learning disabilities or attention deficit disorders are entitled to extra testing time on the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). The AAMC disagrees with the Court's decision in this case, Andres Turner et al. v. Association of American Medical Colleges. The AAMC believes that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) provides an appropriate national standard for evaluating accommodation requests on national tests such as the MCAT examination; California law, in contrast, defines "disabled" much more broadly. Because of its belief that it is appropriate to apply a single, fair national standard when evaluating requests for extra testing time and other accommodations on the MCAT, the AAMC intends to appeal the decision.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
