Abstract
The following article is a perspectives piece regarding the newly discovered USMLE cheating rings taking place in Nepal, India, Pakistan, Jordan, and Japan. As this situation escalates, we call for action to find a solution to a widespread problem: eliminate the need for cheating by making licensure exams pass/fail. Score frenzy is out of control, and it has created a problem for graduate medical education as it applies to both applicants and programs. Here we address this problem and provide a solution that encourages readers to consider how we can create a system of resident selection that focuses not on numbers and scores but on people, passion, and humanism in medicine.
