    Reports this week of a fourth-year medical student at Wake Forest University School of Medicine’s impending graduation drew questions not only about why she was being allowed to graduate, but also about how the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) movement is affecting medical school students and the patients for which they will ultimately care. In April 2022, Kychelle Del Rosario was placed on extended leave after she posted a tweet on Twitter that implied she “missed” the vein of a patient on purpose while doing a blood draw because they laughed about a pronoun pin that she was wearing that...

    First year medical students at UCLA's medical school were allegedly assigned readings from activists and educators calling for the abolition of borders, according to a medical transparency group. Do No Harm said the readings were assigned in the required course, "Structural Racism and Health Equity." Copies of the documents were shared with National Review on Thursday. In one reading from a scholarly paper entitled, "Beyond border health: Infrastructural violence and the health of border abolition," the authors call for a "no borders system that privileges liberatory solidarity with migrants." The authors blame health disparities among migrants on border enforcement and...

    And the left will still probably say that nobody wants to allow abortion throughout all nine months... An OBGYN student at the Medical College of Wisconsin testified at the Wisconsin state Capitol Monday, insisting that if she and her classmates cannot conduct abortions for women throughout all nine months of pregnancy, she will leave the state. Naturally, users online were stunned at how confidently she expressed killing full term babies. In a video which now has more than 200,000 views on X, the woman said, “I think abortion should be unrestrictive,” saying that regardless of when a woman “finds out”...

    There is a major controversy brewing in Canada over a proposal in the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons that schools shift from emphasizing “medical expertise” in favor of teaching “anti-racism” and social justice values.An organization of physicians called Do No Harm is opposing the recommendation of the interim report by the college’s Anti-Racism Expert Working Group.The report states that the new emphasis should center around “values such as anti-oppression, anti-racism, and social justice, rather than medical expertise.” By “de-centering medical expertise,” the anti-racism experts suggest courses focusing on “anti-racism,” “anti-oppression,” “social justice and equity,” “inclusive compassion,” and “decolonization.”That includes...

    The implementation of vaccine mandates at one of the largest institutions in the red state of Texas has raised concerns over the diminishing state of health freedom while a law that would provide Texans with vaccine choice remains stalled by lawmakers. The Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), a medical school and research center in Houston, Texas, announced last week that it will mandate the latest COVID booster shot for its students, faculty, and employees. “An updated Covid vaccine has been approved by the FDA and is now available," the Sept. 28 statement from the school reads. "A single dose is...

    A few months ago, I was summarily fired as an editor-in-chief of the kidney section of the most widely used medical reference. UpToDate is used by tens of thousands of physicians every day, helping them make the best and most timely decisions for patient care. Even as I was fired, UpToDate’s leadership team praised my work. So why did they fire me? Over the previous four years, I had publicly questioned the rise of “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” or DEI, in health care, expressing particular concern about its ubiquity in medical schools. That included the institution where I taught and...

    Conservative activist Kenny Xu, who’s fighting what he says are harmful diversity, equity and inclusion practices at US medical schools, says he’s notched another anti-DEI win at the University of North Carolina — with the help of a renowned, African-born, US-based heart surgeon. Xu persuaded Harvard-trained Dr. Nche Zama, 66, who was born in the Republic of Cameroon and immigrated alone to the US at age 14 with just $20, to speak at one of the anti-DEI events Xu organized in Chapel Hill in February aimed at getting the UNC medical school to back off its policies. Now UNC’s medical...

    A group of House Republicans sent a letter Thursday to the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) about their concerns with its accreditation standards pushing diversity outcomes. The Daily Caller first obtained the letter to LCME’s Co-Secretaries that mention medical schools are implementing DEI programs after pressure from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME). In the letter, the lawmakers requested answers to over a dozen questions pertaining to LCME’s accreditation standards. In February, the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) first reported that the University of Utah School of Medicine implemented a series of programs to recruit and retain diverse...

    The New England Journal of Medicine has been strongly criticized for publishing an academic paper calling for medical students to be taught in racially-segregated groups, with the idea condemned as 'morally abhorrent'. The article, written by seven academics, doctors and students at the University of California, San Francisco, was published by the esteemed journal on April 27. It calls for 'new approaches' to teaching - namely, dividing students based on the color of their skin. 'The approach tailors areas of focus to each identity group to supplement and differentiate the education received in racially integrated spaces, enabling participants to progress...

    The University of Pennsylvania expanded a program that admitted minority and other underrepresented college applicants into its Perelman School of Medicine under special criteria, including waiving the Medical College Admission Test requirement. The program has “officially broadened” this year to include students from Howard University, Oakwood University, Xavier University of Louisiana, Morehouse College and Spelman College, according to a Perelman School of Medicine news release. The Penn Access Summer Scholars program selects a group of diverse college candidates to complete two eight-week summer mentorship sessions with medical professionals. Upon completion, students may be eligible for early admission into Penn’s Perelman...

    Incoming University of Michigan medical school students staged a walk-out during the pro-life keynote speaker's speech during their White Coat Ceremony. Hundreds of students had previously petitioned to get Dr Kristin Collier, assistant professor of medicine at UMMS, removed from the initiation because of her anti-abortion stance. But after their first protest failed, dozens of students got up from their seats and left the auditorium as Christian Dr Collier took to the stage to address them. Footage shows some of those present clapping as Dr Collier starts her speech, but others stood and filed out as she continued to speak....

    Dozens of incoming University of Michigan Medical School students walked out of a pro-life keynote speaker’s address, after a previous petition to get the speaker removed failed. Shortly after Dr. Kristin Collier, a pro-life assistant professor of medicine at UMMS, took to the stage Sunday to address the new students at their White Coat Ceremony, several dozen people got up from their seats and headed for the auditorium doors, video of the ceremony showed. Collier’s speech was not expected to focus on abortion, but some students petitioned the school weeks prior to remove her as the keynote speaker over her...

    Woke medical education is expanding across the United States, which is cause for great concern. One of the last common experiences people have today is going to the doctor. When one is sick and in need of treatment, typically one would want the most intelligent and skilled doctor available. Medical schools, however, are not striving to produce the best doctors possible; they are now striving to produce the most equitable and “woke” doctors possible. No doubt, the consequences of this will be immense and profound. A webinar hosted by the National Association of Scholars (NAS) in February dived into the...

    A North Carolina medical student is no longer working directly with patients after she suggested on Twitter that she intentionally stuck a patient twice with a needle for mocking her pronoun pin. "The student is not involved in patient care activities at this time," Wake Forest School of Medicine spokeswoman Paula Faria told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" producer Gregg Re, according to his Twitter feed. The fourth-year medical student, Kychelle Del Rosario, came under fire after complaining in a tweet about a patient's response to her she/her pronoun pin. "I had a patient I was doing a blood draw on see...

    Former Yale Administrator Pleads Guilty To Embezzling $40 Million In Massive Fraud. A former Yale Medical School administrator has pleaded guilty to embezzling $40 million from the school in an electronics purchasing scheme. According to federal prosecutors, Jamie Petrone, 42, took advantage of her position as the director of finance for the emergency medicine department to authorize equipment purchases without additional approvals, which weren’t required as long as the amounts were below $10,000.. In total, prosecutors say she caused Yale $40,504,200 in losses – which she never declared as income on her ‘false’ tax returns for years 2013 through 2016....

    The UNC School of Medicine just released an “update” to its lengthy Task Force to Integrate Social Justice into the Curriculum Report. According to the school’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion web page, “the UNC School of Medicine appreciates the Task Force’s work, its feedback, and recommendations,” and this status report “includes important context relative to those recommendations.” Ironically, the document is notable for both how little it says and how much it reveals about DEI at the UNC School of Medicine (SOM). Some background. In November, the Martin Center published my article titled UNC School of Medicine’s Quiet “Diversity, Equity,...

    Doctors Warn New Medical School Guidance Would Lead to Unqualified Physicians and Unscientific MedicineAccreditation guidelines call meritocracy 'malignant,' suggest genetic screening is racist The two accrediting bodies for American medical schools now say that meritocracy is "malignant" and that race has "no genetic or scientific basis," positions that many doctors worry will lower standards of care and endanger lives by discouraging vital genetic testing. The Liaison Committee on Medical Education, which accredits all medical schools in North America, is cosponsored by the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American Association for Medical Colleges (AAMC)—the same groups that on Oct. 30...

    In May, the UNC School of Medicine revised its Guidelines for Appointment, Reappointment, and Promotion. Now, faculty seeking promotion must tout their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. One sample DEI statement, posted on the School of Medicine website, shows what that requirement might entail, concluding with a nod to the concept of intersectionality. "As I move forward in my career, I intend to continue to include issues of equity and inclusion in my bedside teaching. I commit to annually attending a seminar offered by the University Office of Diversity and Inclusion to learn more about the intersectionality of race,...

    A group of congressmen are looking into the University of Virginia (UVA).In April, I covered the story of Kieran Bhattacharya, a medical student who allegedly got a little too curious.In October 2018, Kieran attended a UVA panel discussion covering microaggressions.During a Q&A segment, he asked as follows:“Thank you for your presentation. I had a few questions, just to clarify your definition of microaggressions. Is it a requirement, to be a victim of microaggression, that you are a member of a marginalized group?”Presenter and Assistant Dean Beverly Cowell replied that it wasn’t a necessity.Yet — as Kieran observed — a slide...
