    It’s mostly private institutions passing people because they just care about the money and nothing else.

        That exam wasnt created for that and there is a very difficult exam to get a residency which is required for more ‘complex’ doctor jobs, so people didnt see the need for that until now. They are working on changes though that could involve shutting down courses that fail to meet the necessary standards

        They are restricting new enrollment for now while they make other plans. Removing accreditation would punish the students more than the system. Also, they aren’t all private.

      Source? The literal subtitle of the article says it’s private and public institutions.

          Middle of the article:

          The medicine schools with the worst scores are mostly municipally owned (created and managed by city councils) or …

          Sooo…

            Cherry picking huh? Municipal are the smallest and least funded public universities here, the major institutions are all state and federal level, to be honest I didn’t even know there were municipal ones. Reminder that I said ‘mostly’ not ONLY private institutions.

            “It’s no surprise that federal public universities have received the highest marks; they are universally recognized as the best. But the evaluation of medical programs has also revealed that tuition fees can be inversely proportional to the quality of the education being offered. Medicine schools that scored the lowest (1 or 2 on a scale of 1-5) charge each student between $1,100 and $2,600 a month, according to a detailed analysis by Veja magazine. This is veritable fortune in a country where the minimum wage is $313 a month.”

              Not cherry picking, just wasn’t aware that municipalities were smaller schools. Our school system here works different. Now I know.
