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 more effectively through the next stages of learning,' the authors write.
They argue that segregating students - 'as part of a broader antiracism and antioppression curriculum' - allows different groups to discuss their own experiences without fear.
'Founded on legacies of colonialism and racism, medical education has historically centered White learners and continues to perpetuate structural racism,' they write.
'Pedagogical approaches often center White learners and ignore the differential impact of content on BIPOC learners (Black, Indigenous, or people of color) with personal experiences of racism that are nuanced and have been informed by interactions and observations over their lifetimes.'

Reading between the lines: they need a remedial section for unqualified affirmative action candidates.
Some really sharp docs are recent African immigrants. Guarantee you they want zero to do with natives who share a similar skin color.
Maybe separate drinking fountains will help.

NEJM is now The Woke Journal of Medicine.
I was going to retire in a few years, but I may work longer, just to make sure that these young “progessive” doctors don’t kill my patients.
Getting up and going to school early is no indication of IQ. What a stupid idea. So at your school if you were a night person you were automatically relegated to dunce status. Glad I didn’t go there. We’re brown eyed people considered smarter than blue eyed people and given a better education too, or vice versus?
I'd love to see the guy whose job it is to check to make sure that everyone really is of the race that they lay claim to!
And they could re-use those old Nazi charts on racial purity, too!
Of course, one would also have to measure their skulls...
Then, maybe it would be necessary to also deal with those of the "inferior" race...
Of course, we all know to what this ultimately leads...

Funny.
After 50+ year, I am seeing more and more Scientists, Scholars, Politicians and Community Leaders saying (in kinda quiet way) that George Wallace was correct.
I would think it obvious that the children were first tested, and only then assigned - based on the test results - to come to school at either the usual time or an hour earlier.
The "Early Birds" and the "Late Birds" were undoubtedly referred to as such not because of their innate sleeping habits, but rather to avoid stigmatizing them with such designations as the "Smart Pupils" and the "Slow Learners."
Let me guess: You were one of those children that the school administrators said were "so smart" that you didn't have to come at all!

True that. In their private, social lives, they are whiter than whites and despise AA culture.
MLK was part of the problem. BLM is MLK's grandchild.
The difference would be astounding.
The old way of educating physicians really worked.
PS the NEJM and UCSF keep beclowning themselves, squandering reputations that took a century to achieve. Shame on both sets of communists.
I am sure this will work well. Promotion of tribalism by any other name.
Every major system is going down.
Gradually, and now suddenly.
Unbelievable.
Except from the early/late thing, which I never experienced, you are exactly right.
“Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!”
George is smiling in his grave!
You haven’t got the subtext here. Its not really about early and late, but academic tracking. This is, or was, just another pretext to keep tracking.
Tracking is necessary, but it has been under constant attack for decades.
Duh. I’m not sure that black doctors would only see black patients, Asian doctors would only see Asian patients and white doctors would only see white patients. So how would such absurd “training” prepare medical students to deal with humans, period?
It looks like Gov. George Wallace was right after all.
Now the demand is coming from the OTHER side.
allows different groups to discuss their own experiences without fear.

I thought this was a medical school.
And the students should listen, not educate the professor.
