Bad news for the future of medicine and the future of human life. While radical politics had consumed the ‘soft sciences’ and most impractical academic fields, the practical ones, especially the sciences, were generally intact. In the last decade, all of academia has crumbled.
Quotas are everywhere and woke mandates have displaced academic ones.
That means people will die. Because we’ll have doctors who got there by talking about their victimhood, but are not qualified to do anything more than posture and virtue signal about their pain.
Forty-four percent of medical schools have tenure and promotion policies that reward scholarship on “diversity, inclusion, and equity.” Seventy percent make students take a course on “diversity, inclusion, or cultural competence.” And 79 percent require that all hiring committees receive “unconscious bias” training or include “equity advisors”—people whose job it is to ensure diversity among the faculty.
The pattern here is the familiar one with upward and downward pressure leading to diversity mandates that detract and undermine the core mission.
The report indicates that more than a third of medical schools offer extra funding to departments that hit diversity targets, half require job applicants to submit diversity statements, and over two thirds “require departments/units to assemble a diverse pool of candidates for faculty positions.”
And they’re getting them. Not medically qualified, but politically qualified.
In addition, every school reported using a “holistic admissions” process—a euphemism for affirmative action—that assessed applicants’ grades and test scores in light of their race, lowering the academic bar for groups “underrepresented in medicine.”
Instead of doctors being chosen for their ability to help patients, they’re being chosen to make them feel represented.
This is millennial woke narcissism in a nutshell.
Released November 10, the report comes in the wake of a yearlong campaign by the Association of American Medical Colleges to inject “diversity, equity, and inclusion” into the accreditation process. A year ago, the group put out guidelines calling meritocracy a “malignant narrative.”
Now the next generation of medical practitioners will be the least meritorious since the bubonic plague.
Get your Lawyers ready , Oh wait will make it so you can’t Sue these Fake doctors ? LOL
Malpractice lawsuits on the rise?
next... it will be considered discrimination to refuse a black doctors or trans doctors care for fear they were one of the affirmative action ones.
In some things, more than anything else, competence matters.
Think about those situations where the individual next to you, if not ‘competent’ can get you killed, maimed, or worse. Those are situations were competence is far more important than being nice.
I believe this to be true, and this is why I feel that I do not belong in this brave new world.
Medical tourism will be a good option - for those who can afford it.
Once again, leftists creating poverty, misery and inequality.
I will prioritize Asian doctors over everyone else.
I would not have a homosexual or trans physician look after my cat, never mind I or my human family.
And it’s also happening with airplane pilots and control tower personnel...
In India, they implemented their version of Affirmative action for a long time.
I was told by fellow Indians, that they will Never ever allow to be seen by a doctor with particular last names because they were likely to be selected into med school for equity reasons!
We are heading that way, I guess.
Who would trust a minority Doctor after this? You won’t know if they had what it takes or if they got a pass.
Coming soon to a clinic near you:
Get your Lawyers ready ,“
They are doing away with the LSAT’s in some states starting in 25.
Maybe it will come to this.

"Next Genertion" Hell!
Many of the CURRENT generation of doctors are incompetent!
I am in the habit or researching, double-checking and sometimes
IGNORING the advice / prescriptions of my so-called doctors.
If I hadn't been doing so for years I am convinced that I would now be much worse-off - if not outright dead.
The next generation? Try the current generation. Based on what we’ve experienced over the past 2 years, I’d say there are very, very few independent thinkers in the medical professions these days.
That could be a lot: military, firefighters, police, heavy equipment operator, crane operator, electrical lineman, a day at the range, etc.
FTA...... a yearlong campaign by the Association of American Medical Colleges was designed to inject “diversity, equity, and inclusion” into the accreditation process.......
A year ago, the group put out guidelines calling meritocracy a “malignant narrative.”
Now the next generation of medical practitioners will be the least meritorious since the bubonic plague.
Quality of health care has already seen a significant decrease. Misdiagnosis seems to be the norm.
More and more of the doctors working in the US are educated in other countries. I’m starting to think that’s a good thing.
