The American Medical Association (AMA), the largest national organization representing physicians and medical students in the United States, says it will set aside its long-held concept of meritocracy in favor of “racial justice” and “health equity.”
In an 86-page strategic plan released May 11, the AMA set out a three-year road map detailing how the advocacy group will use its influence to dismantle “structural and institutional racism” and advance “social and racial justice” in America’s health care system.
According to its plan, the AMA will be following a host of strategies, including implementing “racial and social justice” throughout the AMA enterprise culture, systems, policies, and practices; expanding medical education to include critical race theory; and pushing toward “racial healing, reconciliation, and transformation” regarding the organization’s own “racially discriminatory” past.
The AMA also makes clear that it now rejects the concepts of “equality” and “meritocracy,” which have been goals in the fields of medical science and medical care.
“Equality as a process means providing the same amounts and types of resources across populations,” the association said. “Seeking to treat everyone the ‘same,’ ignores the historical legacy of disinvestment and deprivation through historical policy and practice of marginalizing and minoritizing communities.”
While the AMA doesn’t run America’s health care system, it holds tremendous influence over medical schools and teaching hospitals that train physicians and other health professionals. Those institutes, the AMA says, must reject meritocracy, which it describes as a harmful narrative that “ignores the inequitably distributed social, structural and political resources.”

They are trying to prove how stupid they are—and then push vaccines.
It is Dunning Kruger time:

“Our new generation of doctors will not be required to know what they are doing(?).”
What else can happen when testing in schools, the SAT, and ultimately medical boards are declared racist? It’s going to be Dr. Lexus in real life.
“How are they going to fix POC doctors being sued more often?”
Declare lawsuits racist.
If they can have indemnification for Big Pharma vaccines, they can have indemnification for black doctors...
So-called “doctors” of color had better get used to being quizzed about their education and experience by new patients. #DueDiligence
Easy Fix, every State that has banned Racist Theory just needs to REVOKE the License of any physician connected to the AMA
Unfortunately, meritocracy might really be racist.
“advance “social and racial justice” in America’s health care system.”
So they’ll be killing white people then.
Got it.

Institutionalized Racism
It still is a mental disease.
Noticed in med school that the AMA was a bit screwy.
Now they have launched into full lunacy.
This doesn’t shock me in the least.
Racism = Social Justice = Woke =
Steal from whitey who earned it
Give to blackey sittin on his a$$
The report states the AMA plans to eliminate meritocracy and advocate critical race theory in its educational institutions. I think you need help with comprehension.
I can read just fine. Maybe you not do much. “Seemingly.”
Good.
God.
The AMA is a lefty propaganda tool.
That's correct. They will be 'passed' and make decisions based on race not knowledge.
Meritocracy (merit, from Latin mereō, and -cracy, from Ancient Greek κράτος kratos 'strength, power') is a political system in which economic goods and/or political power are vested in individual people on the basis of talent, effort, and achievement, rather than wealth or social class.[1] Advancement in such a system is based on performance, as measured through examination or demonstrated achievement. Although the concept of meritocracy has existed for centuries, the term itself was coined in 1958 by the sociologist Michael Dunlop Young in his dystopian political and satirical book The Rise of the Meritocracy.[2]
That’s encouraging. When you visit a doctor, you must assume he didn’t earn his credentials. It used to be you could make that assumption due to Affirmative Action, and it was easy. Now it’ll be Russian Roulette with all physicians.
And God gave them over comes to mind.
