Last year, 3 of the 64 applicants for our medical residency program I interviewed had the same unrecognized malady. During the last two weeks, I identified 4 additional students with the same problem. To my surprise, none had had their problem diagnosed by the many physician educators they had interacted with during their 3.5-8.5 years as a medical student at some of the most prestigious American medical schools, two at my own medical school.
