Dr. Stanley Goldfarb Discusses Dangers of Identity Politics on ‘Giving Ventures’ Podcast

This month, Do No Harm Chairman Stanley Goldfarb, MD, joined the latest episode of the DonorsTrust Giving Ventures podcast to discuss the threats posed by identity politics to medicine and medical education.

Dr. Goldfarb explained how medical schools have de-emphasized traditional metrics of aptitude and achievement, such as grades and MCAT scores, in favor of DEI-related traits such as race and ideology. Increasingly, schools have shifted their focus toward advancing political agendas over educating the best possible physicians — to the detriment of patients everywhere.

Additionally, Dr. Goldfarb discussed the rise of the child transgender industry, diving into how, through a heavily-politicized process, medical providers are proposing dangerous medical interventions that lack credible evidence.

The discussion also covered Do No Harm’s various efforts, including policy work and litigation, to protect children and get identity politics out of medicine.
