At ‘woke’ medical schools, curricula are increasingly focused on social justice rather than treating illness.
The American College of Physicians says its mission is to promote the “quality and effectiveness of health care,” but it’s stepped out of its lane recently with sweeping statements on gun control. And that isn’t the only recent foray into politics by medical professionals. During my term as associate dean of curriculum at the University of Pennsylvania’s medical school, I was chastised by a faculty member for not including a program on climate change in the course of study. As the Journal reported last month, such programs are spreading across medical schools nationwide.
Why have medical schools become a target for inculcating social policy when the stated purpose of medical education since Hippocrates has been to develop individuals who know how to cure patients?
A new wave of educational specialists is increasingly influencing medical education. They emphasize “social justice” that relates to health care only tangentially. This approach is the result of a progressive mind-set that abhors hierarchy of any kind and the social elitism associated with the medical profession in particular.
These educators focus on eliminating health disparities and ensuring that the next generation of physicians is well-equipped to deal with cultural diversity, which are worthwhile goals. But teaching these issues is coming at the expense of rigorous training in medical science. The prospect of this “new,” politicized medical education should worry all Americans.
The traditional American model of medical training, which has been emulated around the world, emphasizes a scientific approach to treatment and subjects students to rigorous classroom instruction. Students didn’t encounter patients until they had some fundamental knowledge of disease processes and knew how to interpret symptoms.

Yes, the Left ruins everything it touches: music, comedy, the military, politics, engineering, hard sciences, medicine - you name it - they ruin it.
It's like we are living in Nazi Germany. Any art, any music, any business, any book that was dubbed "Anti-National Socialist" was attacked or banned. Same thing in Communist countries. Things were deemed "Counter-Revolutionary."
Joe McCarthy was right.
#37 - rings true!

Sadly, I couldn't agree more.
Red Flag laws will soon not just be about firearms.
Conservatives, Christians, Jews, Free Thinkers...….we're all going to be "Red Flagged" just as we are on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc.
Except this time the SWAT teams will show up.
If so, you must be in abject terror!
Most universities and seminaries are little more than annexes of one: The Frankfurt School. Cultural Marxism permeates virtually all education.
As for the scientific method being used: It is used very selectively, to promote the unnatural, patentable, Cut-Burn-Drug paradigm that produces huge profits for Big Medic and Big Pharma.
Natural remedies, such as Hippocrates used, which have been used for two and more thousands of years, are actively denounced and even outlawed by the FDA. Until the advent of Sulfa Drugs, followed by Penicillin, in the 1930s, natural remedies, such as Lugol’s Solution (around since the 1830s), were a staple in the pharmacopia of Medical Doctors.
Hippocrates would lose his license for malpractice in today’s culture.
P.S.
Speaking of Aspirin (from Bayer):
The marketing of aspirin in 1900 was a landmark in the eventual end of natural approaches.
Thousands die every year from taking aspirin exactly according to doctor’s preswcription. Thousands. And few take any notice.
Such substances shut down all CICs [Circulating Immune Complexes], including not only those affecting acute pain (from illness or injury) but routine maintenance. As a result, the stomach lining is not adequately renewed, stomach acid damages the inner stomach, and an ulcer results. Also, aspirin destroys red blood cells, inducing anemia over time.
Like The Joker said in The Dark Knight: It is all according to plan, so no one gets upset.
White Willow Bark, a major natural source of salicine, is a natural alternative to pharmaceutical salicylate (aspirin), and is safer, since it is indirect, giving the body more control. However, being natural, it does not offer the profit motive due to patent.
Follow the money: always.
“And, to help them remember, I promised them they could get “Brand New Parents” if they ever answered “yes””
Perfect.
