154: Merit as a Construct

On this episode of AAVMC's on Air, we sit down with guests Amy Addams from the Association of American Medical Colleges and Dr. Melinda Frye from Colorado State University to discuss the concept of merit. Merit is often presented as the sole basis for admissions, but what do we actually mean by that? What defines merit, and who gets to decide what experiences and qualifications signify an applicant as having enough merit? Join us as we hope to dig deep into these topics!
