Woke Medical Organizations Are Hazardous to Your Health
Wall Street Journal | Heather MacDonald
MacDonald documents the medical organizations promoting DEI initiatives and mandates to transform medical education, promotion and practice. Among them are the American Medical Association, the American Association of Medical Colleges and the American Association of Pediatrics.
“Virtually all medical schools admit black and Hispanic applicants with scores on the Medical College Admission Test that would be all but disqualifying if presented by white and Asian applicants, and some schools waive the MCATs entirely for select minority students.” Meanwhile, “courses on racial justice and advocacy are flooding into medical school curricula.”
The upshot? “If physicians are trained to combat ‘systemic racism,’ their ability to treat disease will suffer.”
