DEI Sentiments Dominate In U.S. Hospitals (Part 2)

Earlier this month, Do No Harm posted a commentary piece highlighting a recent American Hospital Association (AHA) report. This report found that many hospitals across the United States have fully embraced DEI, including through signing the AHA’s “equity pledge” and even allocating a portion of their budgets towards DEI goals.

However, it appears hospitals’ endorsements of identity politics in medicine run much deeper than just pledges. In fact, a brand new AHA report underscores the growing influence of woke-ism in fundamentally altering hospital governance and management.

Dermatologists like me are being doxed for opposing DEI

Should dermatologists care more about skin color and group identity than treating skin conditions? The question is tearing apart my profession. “Diversity, equity, and inclusion,” or DEI, is destroying my colleagues’ ability to have honest, open, respectful discussions. As medical professionals, we should do better, and our patients deserve better. What’s happening in dermatology – a key medical specialty with over 11,000 specialist physicians nationwide […]

Not a Minority? You Need Not Apply

The “Coloring Psychoanalysts” online periodical wants your contributions—but only if you are a member of the “BIPOC” community (black, indigenous, or person of color).

Coloring Psychoanalysts describes itself as an online community periodical that “seek[s] to dismantle the ways in which psychoanalytic theory has both ignored and pathologized BIPOC people, justified and reinforced systemic oppression, and affects our practice and our communities today.”

The organization’s “About” page contains a defense of limiting “white” participants, asserting the BIPOC-only periodical is a way to “divest BIPOC time, emotional labor, and intellectual contribution from spaces that too often diminish and devalue us.” In arriving at this conclusion, Coloring Psychologists cites a 2018 article entitled “Why People of Color Need Spaces Without White People”. Indeed, the organization makes it clear they are interested in seeing “psychoanalysis shift away from a White, colonial center.”

Dr. Lucas Klein: “DEI Activists Are Coming for My Profession”

Dr. Klein is a clinical psychologist, adult psychoanalyst, former forensic psychologist, the host of Real Clear Podcast, and a visiting fellow at Do No Harm. He knows a thing or two about the human condition, and he believes the principles underlying DEI are not only illogical—they’re dangerous.

Kansas Republicans push to ban gender-affirming care for trans minors, label it abusive

Three years ago Cat Poland’s son nearly died. The Kansas mother of three told lawmakers Thursday that her now 14-year-old child attempted suicide after coming out as transgender. She also told them that gender affirming medication, testosterone, left him “happier and healthier” than she’s seen him in years. Starting hormone therapy, Poland told The Star, […]

Wokeness North

Canadians often chafe at American cultural imperialism, but Canada’s health-care leaders appear set to import American-style wokeness to the country’s medical schools. Next year, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, which oversees the training and licensure of the country’s doctors, will roll out the newest version of CanMEDS, a physician-education framework that effectively dictates […]

The American Heart Association’s Discriminatory Anti-Discrimination Policies

Many organizations—including in the medical field—make assurances not to discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, age, and a variety of other factors. These types of statements are fairly commonplace in both the private and public sector.

However, what is less common is an explicit codification of discrimination included in the very same paragraph as an anti-discrimination statement. Yet, this is precisely the situation with the American Heart Association (AHA).
