Abstract
To the Editor Dr Swails and colleagues1 argued that the current 3-digit scoring system for the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) is a broken metric for evaluating residency applicants. They suggested that a pass-fail licensing examination with “individual mission–based holistic criteria” would be more appropriate. I disagree with their suggestion for several reasons.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
