The sad consequences of fraud attempts at the exam for the title of a US doctor.
Short history: it will be about passing examinations for a doctor for foreigners, after successful passing which the doctor can submit documents to the internship or residence, for subsequent practical training in the specialty.
The first stage is paper, you need to send to the centre for accreditation your diploma, they check your school there for the schedule of subjects, how many hours you studied, the reputation of the school, its compliance with world standards of medical education...
After receiving a confirmation of the diploma, you can apply for the exam, pay a lot of money and once every 6 months in one day in hundreds of centres in the United States and around the world to try to pass it.
Yes, you have not heard, the whole world, the centers were in Poland and in Finland and the Philippines and God knows it elsewhere.
There are many questions, 500 in excess, all strictly: the questions for all centers are the same, under the lock until the day of the exam, are given to the hands at 9 a.m. local time, the prosecutors walk through the passages, "hop on the spot, the convoy shoots without warning", the heads do not turn, to the toilet - after giving up the job and under the convoy, no phones or calculators, in a word - strictly, you do not crack, scams and scams seemed impossible... seemed.
But the "stage is more than life", the exam is very difficult, not everyone passes it - a group of doctors from one country decided to trick.
I promptly say - not from the USSR, we had neither experience nor money to organize this, we gave hard, blood and then, I will tell you on the occasion.
But from which country specifically - I don't remember, I forgot, the case was a quarter of a century ago with the hook. So then history.
Using the difference in the start time of the exam, the scammers hired colleagues in a country where the exams started 10 hours before the start of the exams in the United States, they went to the exam not for passing, but to remember questions in order to send them to colleagues overseas.
They had several hours alone with the books to answer correctly, each answered 25-30 questions from each side of the ocean, then the guys in the United States exchanged answers, tried to remember the answers well and in the morning went to the exam, shot very successful, in their opinion.
Anne, no... it wasn’t right here, on every clever ass... you’ve probably heard, there’s a screwdriver with an unpleasant cut.
The entire group was calculated by a program of statistical analysis – sadly their answers were similar, both right and wrong.
The wrong!?? to
Allow me, and how is it wrong to be if the guys answered textbooks, consulting together to come to a consensus on the correctness of the answer?
This is what lost them, consensus.
It turns out, a couple or three dozen questions were given for this:
They either did not have the correct answer at all (trick question) or had two or more correct answers.
Thus, the standardization of answers to such questions caused immediate suspicion.
And then it was all a matter of technology, the federal services quickly came to the conclusion that the scammers from the same country, numbering about 20, had the same answers.
And approximately the same number of doctors in the center in their homeland, who did not pass, moreover, who did not even finish the exam, they did not come for delivery - for remembering questions.
It all ended sadly and extremely hard: the results were cancelled, accreditation was cancelled, included in blacklists without the right to surrender, for life.
All, collect your suitcases and return, not salt bread, sadness...
“I will be landed!
Do not steal!”
