Numerical Scores for all Evaluated Schools, 2023.
Total scores were calculated for all included institutions. The maximum possible score is 45. We scored each of the 15 domains from 0-3, where 0 was assigned for missing policies, 1 for inadequate policies, 2 for moderate policies, and 3 for model policies. Schools colored in light grey received a “B”, schools colored in dark grey received a “C”, and schools colored in black received a “I/F”.

AMSA Scores Assigned by Domain, 2023.
The number of schools that have inadequate policies that do not address the domain (black, scored 1 point), moderate policies that are making progress towards model policies (gray, scored 2 points), or model (white, black outline) policies within each of the evaluated domains.

A detailed breakdown of the “Other Deans” and “Clerkship Directors” categories is available in the supplemental material.
