The Eastern Vascular Society puts its DEI Agenda Front and Center

The Eastern Vascular Society (EVS) is one of many medical organizations that’s gone off the woke deep end. For recent proof, look no further than the Society’s DEI survey.

The survey, which the Society says is intended for “measuring our progress” and gleaning “a more complete understanding of our membership,” starts by asking some simple questions relating to practice, career status, and the like. But a scroll just a bit farther down the page uncovers questions on buzzword topics like members’ race, preferred pronouns, and gender identity.

Questions from the EVS’s DEI Survey.

The EVS’s DEI Commitment – which preambles the survey – confirms the Society’s leftist slant.

The formulation of this survey begs a number of questions, not the least of which are what does demographic information like this have to do with practicing vascular medicine, or what does the EVS plan to do with these responses? Initiatives like this could signal that future DEI-related programs and practices are coming down the pipeline.

But the DEI survey is only one piece of the EVS’s latest woke puzzle: the Society recently finished receiving applications for its DEI Grant. The grant, which is being offered by the EVS’s DEI Committee, is designed specifically for members who identify as LGBTQ+, underrepresented in medicine (URiM), or women.

Which is to say, the grant is designed to discriminate on the basis of race. Rather than taking a fair, colorblind, merit-based approach to its grantmaking process, EVS is instead showing its true, discriminatory colors.

It’s important for all clinicians in every field to succeed in their professions. So, why doesn’t the EVS seek to serve all its members equally, rather than giving preference to some over others? Initiatives like the DEI survey and DEI Grant take the focus off patients and put it on politics.

But members of the EVS shouldn’t be surprised by either the survey or the grant, considering that the Society claims it was founded on woke ideas.

According to its homepage, the EVS was founded in 1987 in part to “to serve disparate communities through a commitment to diversity and inclusion” and “to promote diversity and inclusion within the Society, in vascular surgery education, training and research.”

The EVS was woke before woke was a thing.

The Society joins the ranks alongside the AMA, ANA, the AAPM&R, and more in the battle against integrity in the medical field. And the number of medical associations who remain silent on or are free from destructive DEI-related ideologies – like those propagated by the EVS – is shrinking.

Do No Harm was founded to shed light on woke, divisive initiatives like these as part of our commitment to ensuring that all patients receive the best possible care. We’ll keep up the fight until merit is restored to medicine.
