Forget anatomy or physiology: Many of the medical students heading back to class this month are taking courses that focus more on social justice and diversity.
That’s my conclusion in a new study that analyzes the curricula at medical schools across the country.
Future physicians are spending more time on divisive political topics and less time on the medical science on which individual and public health depend — a fact that should terrify policymakers and patients alike.
My study — the first to document the prevalence of ideology in medical school curricula — focuses on schools’ publicly available course catalogs.
Using the US News and World Report rankings, I started with the top-ranked institutions in the country, then worked my way down the list.
While many institutions don’t disclose their coursework, the top 20 that publicly list their courses show how political ideology is displacing traditional medical education.
I searched for how often specific keywords appear in each catalog’s courses, a widely used research technique known as “content analysis.”
Specifically, I looked for the usage of eight politicized words and eight scientific or medical terms that directly bear on medical education.
Think “race/racism” and “equity” compared to “chemistry” and “physiology.”
All told, across the course catalogs I analyzed, politicized words appeared more than 2,400 times — while scientific and medical terms appeared about 1,900 times.
In the top 10 medical schools with publicly accessible course catalogs, including top-ranked Harvard Medical School, only those at Duke University and Washington University skew more scientific than political, though not by much of a margin.

They are training a generation of Mengeles.
After the vaccine bull crap, the medical industry is irreparably damaged. Doctors want repeat customers, they don’t want to fix or cure anything. Doctors mostly make you sick, get you hooked on drugs or perform useless or harmful operations.
“Follow the science” - but science now redefined to fit the parameters of DEI and political correctness.
In which instance, it is no longer science, but dogma.
Science, REAL science, is never settled. Dogma is.
No, Mengele was a trained physician.
Since we are replacing medical courses with ideology, that means less training. So we are graduating ignorant butchers.
Many of the Med School grads will not be surgeons.
Some may get to work on genetic engineering projects.
All in service to satan.
safe and effective...
No one will trust a physician anymore.
And the majority are females. The establishment likes them as they are well known as compliant and enforcers of leftist ideology.
” It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy.”
― George Orwell, 1984”
They MUST go back to teaching science and medical practice!
And they MUST keep the organic chemistry requirement for admission!
Demand at least some gray hair around the temples.
Nearly all chicks dye their hair, so stick with old male doctors.
