An Association of American Medical Colleges panel finalized its proposal to redesign the standardized test required for medical schools, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported Tuesday. The new test, which will likely be used from 2015 to 2030, aims to attract aspiring physicians savvy in both practical skills and bedside manner, according to The Chronicle. The proposals will emphasize medicine's psychological and social aspects by adding sections on the fundamentals of behavior and on analytical and reasoning skills. These sections will cover topics including ethics, psychology and population health, The Chronicle reported.

The panel released its recommendations Tuesday after collecting data from 2,700 surveys and 90 outreach sessions, The Chronicle reported.
