1. DWELL ON MISTAKES: working to move past shortcomings,
applying criticism in constructive way to better myself; explicitly
what I've done to prove it - MCAT technique, low scores in
beginning --> improved when moved past
2. Not vocal about advocating for myself - hope actions can speak
on my behalf and this usually works in long term but does not allow
for recognition of accomplishments in short term
,3. Extremely thorough but approach to studying is time and resource
intensive. Need to be better at alloting hours in the day - medical

PP/ACA
- expanding medicaid
- force insurance means more money paid to hospital
- institutions receive more funding
- lowers healthcare costs and more care for all
,PP and ACA (Obamacare)
1. mandates that everyone get health insurance or pay a tax
2. provides subsidies for middle-income families (*by taxing healthcare providers
and high-income families AND Medicare has begun paying doctors for quality-
of-care rather than on a fee-for-service basis. As a result, Obamacare doesn't
add to the national debt.)
3. expands Medicaid to more low-income people (allows the poor to get
treatment for their chronic illnesses before they need the emergency room; Prior
to 2010, many of them were forced to use emergency rooms as their primary
care physician. Hospitals passed those costs onto Medicaid and consumers.
Keeping poor people out of the emergency room keeps health care costs lower
for everyone.)
4. helps small businesses offer health insurance
5. allows parents to add their children up to age 26 (more young, healthy people
pay premiums but don't use the system. That adds to health insurance companies'
profits. They can pass these savings onto customers.)
6. PRO: insurance companies can no longer refuse or charge a person more
because they have a pre-existing condition
CON: downside is that insurance companies responded by increasing the
premiums on those who already had health insurance.
7. PRO: expands the range of people who are eligible to receive medicaid
- those who aren't eligible for medicaid but still can't afford insurance receive tax
credits to off set the cost
CON: to pay for this several new taxes were created that other people now have
to pay for
REPEAL: The Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2018 repealed the mandate as of 2019.
- President Trump instructed the Internal Revenue Service to ignore taxpayers
who don't prove they have insurance.
- As a result, healthier people are dropping coverage. This leaves insurance
companies with a higher proportion of sick enrollees.
- As
1. huge shortage
2. PCP only get 8-12 minutes with their PCP, unable to get all questions answered
so patients become frustrated
, 3. as our population continues to grow and age, there will be an even greater
need for physicians
4. as people are able to live longer, there will be a greater need of services
It is an emergency situation - humanitarian issue ... healthcare is a right that
should be available to EVERYONE

A "shelf" exam is an exam that some medical schools purchase from
the NBME that test materials presented in the third-year clerkships.
They are literally pulled from a box on the "shelf" and thus the name
"shelf" exam
