Students can already pick a ‘health justice’ track
Georgetown University will add a new track to its seven current options for medical students.
The School of Medicine’s “Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion” track joins Health Justice Scholar Track, Healthcare Leadership Track, Literature and Medicine Track, Medical Education Research Scholar Track, Population Health Scholar Track, Primary Care Leadership Track and Environmental Health and Medicine Track as concentrations for aspiring medical professionals.
Professors and co-directors Ann Jay and Tamara Wilson have not responded to two emailed requests for comment on the curriculum sent in the past month by The College Fix.
Completion of the track, which involves modules, field work and group projects, will prepare students to “[s]erve as a champion of DEI in future experiences” and work to “dismantle systems of power designed to benefit certain groups.”
The med students will learn that dismantling these power structures that “harm others” is not a fleeting project but instead a “lifelong commitment” that “is imperative to improving the health outcomes of patients.”
Students will learn about “complex perspectives relating to race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, and life experiences” and how it affects health outcomes.
It should not be confused with the Health Justice track which teaches students how to “[d]emonstrate an understanding of the psychological, socioeconomic, cultural, and spiritual dimensions of human health and illness.”
The future cardiologists, oncologists and otolaryngologists will not just help sick people recover and diagnose potential future health problems. They will graduate with an understanding of “the role of discrimination, bias, microaggressions, and racism in the ability to deliver equitable care.”
Their education on how the lungs work, prenatal development and recognizing the signs of a stroke will be supplemented with the ability to “use increased competency in anti-racism, cultural humility, social justice, racial......

Insanity.
Publish their names when they graduate, so these “doctors” can be avoided at all costs.
The sad thing is that our young are going to have a very difficult time in the future finding a good doctor.
Isn’t that part of Washington filled with wealthy white liberal ‘elite’ losers whose only claim to fame is a wealthy Grandfather who knew how to leave lots of money and connections to their parents and them?
Big breeding ground for misdirected white guilt... private school variety.
Make sure not yo choose their graduates as your doctors
We’ll just import more doctors from India.
It is already happening at the Veterans Health Administration. I guess I’m going to be in a new undefined tier.
For diversity, inclusion, and equity you must accept morons to medical school.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion should be changed to diversity, inclusion, and equity so that the acronym will be DIE.
Ah, yes... Reminds me of this wonderful factoid. What do you call the person who graduated LAST in Medical School? ....
Doctor
Tell your kids to avoid Doc’s graduating from GT.
I wonder what is the “equity” in this equation ?
This is for a new type of medical degree, the DMD - Doctor of Merde Degree. That is because Georgetown University has become an out of control MARXIST, BLM, Diversity snakepit.
The wealthy can buy the best health care. The poor will get whatever is available at minimum cost. Nothing is going to change that.
I work in one and nobody, absolutely, NOBODY pays any attention to this nonsense. They don't have the time for it and care about it even less. Just look at all the world salad. None of makes any sense.
I graduated from GU ... and will never donate a dime. I went there because of its high standards of education, part of its Jesuit legacy. I guess that, like the Communist Pope, GU has forgotten its heritage and reason for being.
“... diversity, inclusion, and equity...”
—————
Great acronym, especially for a med school.
I want to start knowing whether new doctors that want to treat me have done this. Hard NO.
Very impressive. I wish Georgetown University good luck with their agenda. On the other hand: don’t ever go to a medical doctor who has graduated from Georgetown University.
