The new MCAT went into effect this year .Twenty- five percent of the test items are Psychology and Sociology related-in recognition of the role psychological and sociological factors play in health and disease. MCAT administrators reported that an unsually high number of students took the test in the last five years because they were trying to avoid the behavioral and social science mandate.. I personally think that the background in Psychology is adjunctive,but on second thought would you want a Primary care physician shoving his hand up your --- to examine the prostate with some psychology background? or the dude or dudette asking you to say AAH while ringing a bell? or a worse case scenario, you are given a bottle of placebo capsules and fold to call back in the morning. michael 'going above and beyond where no tipster has gone before' --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
