ABOUT US
Do No Harm represents physicians, nurses, medical students, patients, and policymakers focused on keeping identity politics out of medical education, research, and clinical practice.
We believe in making healthcare better for all – not undermining it in pursuit of a political agenda. Do No Harm seeks to highlight and counteract divisive trends in medicine, such as “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” and youth-focused gender ideology.
Do No Harm was founded in 2022 by our chairman, Dr. Stanley Goldfarb. While serving as the Associate Dean for Curriculum at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, he saw with his own eyes how identity politics was invading medical education.
From racially discriminatory hiring and recruiting policies to identity politics in the classroom, the medical field was becoming a vehicle for radical ideology at the expense of healthcare professionals and patients everywhere.
Dr. Goldfarb realized he needed to act. He founded Do No Harm to protect merit, excellence, and fairness in medicine and healthcare.
Soon after our founding, our mission expanded to protect children from the harms of gender ideology. We advocate for what should be common sense: children should not be subjected to dangerous, life-altering procedures that lack scientific justification.
Today, we fight to protect healthcare. We stand up for the safety of children, merit, excellence, and evidence-based medicine.
We hope you become a member of Do No Harm and make further progress possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Do No Harm’s mission?
As a membership organization representing healthcare professionals, patients, policymakers, and concerned citizens, Do No Harm’s mission is to ensure that healthcare is better for all. Physicians and nurses should strive to provide the best possible care to their patients, and healthcare education programs should strive to produce the best possible healthcare providers. Children should not be subjected to harmful sex-denying interventions to which they cannot meaningfully consent and which lack any credible evidence. We believe that medicine should follow the evidence, not fashionable political trends, and that medical institutions should prioritize merit, excellence, and fairness in their operations.
How does Do No Harm protect healthcare?
Do No Harm exposes and advocates against the invasion of identity politics in healthcare. We debunk the flawed arguments and shoddy science behind concepts like “gender-affirming care” and promote evidence-based practices that value merit, excellence, and fairness. Through research, investigations, litigation, and public advocacy, we work to ensure that harmful ideologies are not degrading the quality of medical education, clinical practice, and healthcare at large.

Why is DEI harmful?
By definition, DEI places the interests of patients subordinate to regressive ideological goals. It implicitly – and often explicitly – treats the practice of medicine not as a means to treat patients, but as a vehicle to engineer desired social outcomes. For example, it seeks to overcome different outcomes among racial and gender groups by actively discriminating in favor of some people and against others. Under the guise of increasing “diversity,” medical schools and other institutions engage in racial discrimination, excluding individuals based on racial background. Policies aimed at promoting “health equity” likewise favor certain racial groups over others. These practices violate basic ethical principles, are fundamentally anti-science, and demonstrate a contempt for intellectual rigor. Moreover, they necessarily degrade the quality of medicine and medical education by prioritizing ideological goals over merit and excellence.

Testimonials
Beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy and justice. These standards are completely violated by woke medical ideologs that are pushing vile gender transitioning nonsense. This must be opposed by those of us in the medical field who can speak out. Thank you Do No Harm and I am proud to be a member.
Thank God for Do No Harm! The insanity in our country has to stop. The liberal woke ideologies are destroying the lives of children every day with their forced agendas. It is not just in the schools but also in the medical fields. What happened to the days of protecting the children at all costs?…
I was written up and put on probation because I said I would object to a man claiming to be a woman being allowed in my minor daughter’s locker room, and that I would encourage my child to wait if he or she wanted to “transition.” Do No Harm helped and supported me through a difficult time.
