MCAT biometric data will help schools identify studentsFrom: Dean Huffman (dean@thehuffpeople.net)Sun May 11 16:56:23 2008
.. MCAT biometric data will help schools identify students In late June, the AAMC will launch the Biometric Identity Verification Service, which will use fingerprints and photographs taken at MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) testing sites to help medical schools confirm an applicant's identity at the point of interview as well as once they are accepted. The service will allow admissions officers and registrars to verify that the same individual who took the exam is also the interviewing applicant and the one attending orientation and signing up for classes. It will also help prevent someone from using another person's test scores to gain entrance into medical school. Ten universities will use the service during the pilot year, and then the service will be made available to all schools that want to participate. Each university will be provided with a fingerprint reader and the accompanying BIO-key(r) WEB-key client software, at no charge. Because the MCAT is also administered outside of the United States, there will be data available for international applicants from several countries, as well.

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.
