Here’s How Much Medical Schools Pay For Membership In Woke Academic Association


The invoice, obtained through a public information request by Do No Harm, an organization opposed to the politicization of medicine, shows that the University of Utah’s Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine paid $75,760 for a year-long institutional membership in the AAMC starting on July 1, 2024. The AAMC counts as members all 158 American medical schools accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), which the organization co-sponsors. 

The AAMC has been accused of harming medical education through leftist political initiatives, including its commitment to DEI initiatives, “anti-racism,” and promoting transgender ideology. A comprehensive report from Do No Harm highlights the full extent of the AAMC’s DEI programs. 

“It’s just ironic that the medical schools are held captive to pay this kind of money to be dished out all the crap that comes out of the AAMC,” Laura Morgan, the author of the report and Do No Harm’s senior director of programs, told The Daily Wire.

Do No Harm director of research Ian Kingsbury pointed out that the AAMC’s DEI agenda has gone beyond mere recommendations.
