In its ongoing fight against identity politics in medicine, Do No Harm exposed the American Medical Association this week for content related to identity politics and diversity, equity and inclusion in its Continuing Medical Education courses.
Do No Harm Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kurt Miceli told The Center Square: “The level of ideological bias documented in our report raises serious concerns about the integrity of these [Continuing Medical Education] offerings.”
In order to maintain their license to practice medicine, medical professionals must continually keep up with their education – in varying degrees state by state – as explained by Do No Harm’s report, with the American Medical Association (AMA) offering such Continuing Medical Education (CME).
Miceli told The Center Square that the political ideology found in AMA’s CME courses also raises concerns about “whether accreditation standards overseen by the [The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education] are being applied in a way that genuinely safeguards scientific rigor.”
The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) is the only organization providing accreditation to institutions offering CME, according to Do No Harm.
Miceli stressed to The Center Square that “physicians rely on CME to stay informed about best practices and remain licensed.”

Actually people were pointing this out in the 70s when medicine decided being a sodomite was just the coolest. But their voices were not very loud.
If you are just noticing now you are very late to the party.
Welcome to the foxhole, the enemy is to your left and straight ahead. Fire at will.
“...when medicine decided being a sodomite was just the coolest.”
Before the key relationship was between the doctor and the patient.
Now the key relationship is between the government funding of HHS and the Medical Center that employs the doctors. The Medical Centers get funding from insurance companies, of course. But insurance company plans are designed to keep the government happy.... and to bridge private insurance into ACA, Medicaid, Medicare.
I have long quipped: They went from “First, do no harm” to “First do, no harm.”
They also said that "Children are sexual from birth" and that buggering them was just the coolest.
Sex before Eight or else it is too late.
Like it or not, medicine has been political for a very long time.
The AMA is very powerful, in the sense that they give lots of money to Congress, but their influence in day to day practice is non-existent.
The “science” has been political for a long time, too.
People keep acting like this is something new.
No.
You just were not paying attention.
Following WWII there was a shift in the way the public looked at things. You had to trust and not question the guy giving the orders and work with your buddies to achieve that objective even if you did not understand it.
After the war we imported a number of "rehabilitated" Nazis and put them into positions of power in the government. Oh gee, no way that could go wrong.
It is interesting to read the fiction, because fiction tells you how people see themselves, before say 1930 and the fiction after 1945. You can really see the shift happening.
It was AMA that championed the characterization of trans from a known mental illness to a profit center for groomers and pedos.
The APA bug whig who pushed this vile decision into the APA years later totally regretted the big lie he was in a position to get adopted. The same cadre ofcevil-doing politicis were pushing the lie and destruction in all of thd opinion-making professions. Many of them are homosexuals. They even maneuvered to make it illegal for any and all mental health professionals to treat young people or anyone. Horrendous cynical evil political move that harmed huge numbers os people and put mental health professionals out of business.
The APA removed homosexuality from DSM in 1973.
They are laying the groundwork for Obamacare 2.0 and the full/complete nationalization of U.S. healthcare.
It starts in the schools. Especially since schools are a place where conservatives will never fight back.
We all have known for 50+ years about indoctrination in higher education. If there was going to be a fight, it would’ve been long ago.
There will never be a fight here. We always want the left to control the schools. I don’t know why, it makes no sense to me, but past behavior is proof of future activity.
The AMA’s influence has declined over the years. In the early 1950s, about 75% of American physicians were members. By 1997, this number dropped to 40%, and as of 2011, only 15% of doctors were AMA members.
Students only make up 8.1% and residents, 10.4% in the U.S., so if you remove them from the AMA’s published numbers, you get 1,093,472 physicians, and then remove the percentages of students and residents from the previous numbers I quoted, ultimately there are only 132,133 practicing physicians who are AMA members. That’s 12.1%. A drop. A decline that has continued for decades.

I attend a lot of Medical Conferences at the local (University Med School sponsored), state and national levels. Virtually all of the state and national conferences are substantially paid for by big pharma.
My wife is doing her regular continuing nursing education to keep her license up-to-date. All I hear while she’s doing it is, “Wow, I can’t believe I have to read this garbage.” She’s a legit nurse who likes to upgrade her skills. But most of the continuing ed has nothing to do with the actual practice of nursing at all. It’s all rainbow people and diversity swill.
I hope the political ideology polluting the majority of accreditation bodies gets more notice and they get reined in. State boards of licensing may be the best ones for doing so.
4 million out of 50 million is not bad, but its hardly victory.
Especially when you consider that the progressives subverted homeschoolers through Common Core.
If you like your kids at home you can keep your kids at home, “we control the books anyways”.
There needs to be a fight for the schools themselves. Directly.
Looking at your chart if only 1 million children every 4 years moves into home schooling from the government schools - and even if we put horse blinders on and ignore common core’s decisive victory over all curricula - that means that in 200 years we might achieve finality.
Do you think there might be a better way than a plan that’s going to take 200 years? And that’s also including me ignoring the last bar of your chart which goes back down a half million. If we lose a half million or million every 4 years, does that mean it will take 250-300 years for this plan? That is hardly an efficient plan. Shouldn’t parents ever become protective of their children? Isn’t that maternal/paternal instinct 101?
I ask hard questions. This is important. We have already squandered 50 years. Our children deserve better than deliberate squandering.
There is an element of laziness here on part of those who refuse to fight the schools. It is unavoidable. It just is.
Except they don't.
You can use any curriculum you want or even make up your own.
I know parents who use Ray's Arithmetics for math or McGuffey's for reading.
