Anthony Fauci has arguably become one of the most recognizable faces of 2020. And the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases may also be inspiring a new generation of aspiring doctors. The number of students applying to medical school for the upcoming 2021 academic year is up by 18% — a huge spike compared to the previous year, which some med school officials are informally calling the “Fauci Effect.” The Association of American Medical Colleges usually sees an increase of about 1 to 3 percent year over year. “This kind of increase is unprecedented,” said Geoffrey Young, the organization’s senior director of student affairs and programs.

There will be so much good that comes out to the disaster that is 2020. Just wait and see.❤️
🐐 talk
He exudes calm, reassuring competence which is something that helped people even outside the United states (like me)!
This is wonderful since were expecting a medical shortage once the boomers retire.
World needs more Dr. Fauci’s and less Donald Trumps
If he says jump, I’d say how high
Why did I think this was Michael Scott for a hot sec 😩
Maybe its just a realization that doctors are more in demand than ever and it is a good opportunity to earn a great living.
🤣😂🤣 The man worked on HIV decades. About a million people still die each year. But those drug companies making the $$$$.
Or it could be because people are realizing health care is a major concern and want to be part of the solution? “Fauci effect” gtfoh 🙄
This is actually the most outlandish CNN headline to date
Oorrrrr because of a pandemic that’s taken so many lives and jobs that it’s the only pathway that’s honestly reliable
😂😂no seriously?!!
Maybe its because people realized that there is real need for health professionals 😅 No??
How do you know he really got vaccination could easily fake it
Inspired by his lies and back peddling I see. Lockdown, no don’t lockdown, don’t wear masks, no wear TWO masks. Whatever works I guess.
Wonderful ❤️ a very honorable man to be a role model!
Dr Fauci is a national treasure.
What has he actually done other than recant statements, followed by even more conflicting statements and make ridiculous suggestions like Americans should never shake hands again or gather in large settings even post pandemic
Yall do realize many people were probably on a med school track but this year was the year they passed their mcat and was finally able to apply right?
❤️❤️❤️ great ! Glad kids want to be doctors … it’s about time science and other rigorous fields became of interest. Enough with all the liberal arts colleges, no offence.
I hope there’s an equal number considering public policy and community health studies as well.
Probably because med schools are waving some application requirements so more people think they have a chance to get in.
Lmaoo i think it’s less to do with a “Fauci” effect and more to do with the fact that young adults don’t want to enter the shitty economy and workforce so instead they are applying to graduate school
No. It’s cause they aren’t requiring the MCAT and some pre reqs at some med schools.
