Half of trainee doctors at UCLAs prestigious medical school 'are failing basic tests after dean who's anti-white ignored affirmative action ban and terrorized staff with DEI rules'

A DEI-fixated dean at UCLA's world-famous medical school has allowed standards to plummet by discriminating against white and Asian applicants, it is claimed.

The David Geffen School of Medicine in Los Angeles boasts Nobel Prize winners on its faculty and accepts just 173 students out of the 14,000 who apply to it each year.

But it has plunged from sixth to 18th place in the rankings since the appointment of Jennifer Lucerno as dean of admissions in June 2020 amid claims that the admissions bar for underrepresented minorities is now 'as low as you could possibly imagine'.

'All the normal criteria for getting into medical school only apply to people of certain races,' an admissions officer told the Washington Free Beacon.

'For other people, those criteria are completely disregarded.' Among the disturbing anecdotes shared are of a student lashing out in an operating room and accusing a surgeon of picking on her after being asked to locate a major artery - a basic medical request.

How “prestigious” is this prestigious medical school now?

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Leftism is a mental disorder. How else can you explain the things they believe?

[cnsmom]

We are flooded with idiot lawyers in the image of Obama and Harris. and the medical field is the same. They don’t create Ben Carson type doctors anymore. If your doc dies, you are in countdown mode.

Am I wrong for not wanting a minority doctor?

I think on this you are not in the minority.

[MayflowerMadam]

These DEI proponents in powerful places actually harm their own in the big picture, when they believe they’re helping. When I look for a new PCP, I’m very glad the websites have photos of the doctors.

Political science ain’t real science. Lysenko proved that.

[gas_dr]

I believe Dr Ben Carson as one of many examples disproves your relatively disgusting statement.

You must take the shots so we can see if they are safe and effective.

Revoke the academic accreditation of David Geffen School of Medicine in Los Angeles!!

“No negro doctors. For anything. Why take the chance.”

I have to disagree. My doctor is a black woman from the islands (Jamaica I think?) Her husband was my husband’s doctor and from Africa. Both Christians and just LOVELY, kind, and very intelligent people. They refuse to be in any network because “no one is going to tell them how to treat our patients”. Better yet, they are all for natural alternatives IF the situation allows for it. Not everyone who’s not lily white is stupid or a beggar (or thief).

[sevinufnine]

Sin. We live in a sinful world. Non-Christians are left to a reprobate mind. That’s as simple as I can put it.

[sevinufnine]

I opt for medical professionals to care for me who are 100% out of network. More expensive out of my own pocket? Yup. Worth it. YUP! That includes my general practitioner, dentist, oral surgeon, and chiropractor who has 2 PhDs (she’s an endocrinologisas well). Best part I love about her is she brings her dog to the office! Sweetest creature. She wears these awesome dredlocks and is soooo down to earth.

My last experience with IN network doctor was horrible. Went for a mammogram and, having breast density in my family, knew what to expect. This lady demanded I get some little tag implanted after a biopsy. Told her nope. She actually told me...and I quote...if this is cancer, it will metastasize and you will die! I told her, I could die on the way home in a car wreck. So could you. She literally walked out of the office and I never went back, nor had the other work done. 10+ years on I have no cancer, but the same density that’s been there for 20 years. ALLL about $$

“the admissions bar for underrepresented minorities is now ‘as low as you could possibly imagine’.”

UCLA allowed this and California should be stuck with their affirmative action graduates. Medical school graduates of UCLA should not be licensed in any other state. It’s too dangerous.

DIE.

Translation: We discriminate against the more qualified and thus our graduates are inferior doctors.

Note: Ben Carson is a black pediatric neurosurgeon but a good one. He did not get where he is via affirmative action
