Three cheers for Oklahoma. On December 13, Governor Kevin Stitt took a major step toward rolling back divisive and discriminatory ideology at public universities, including the state’s two medical schools. So-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion” is now on the retreat in Oklahoma.
Lindsay addressed members of the Anoka-Hennepin School Board at its October meeting as a concerned parent, just a few weeks before the school board election. She had heard far too many stories of schools in the district pushing unwanted ideologies onto students at all levels, from elementary to high school. All of them traced back […]
The data justifying “racial concordance,” the idea that patients will receive better care from doctors of their own race, have been “cherry-picked” to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in medicine, according to a new study. The theory of “racial concordance” has become prominent among America’s leading medical schools and organizations, as well as within left-wing political leadership. The theory holds […]
On August 10, 2023, the Detroit News published an article by Do No Harm Senior Fellow and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Stephanie Winn on the truth behind “conversion therapy” bans. Read Stephanie’s article below.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June that the use of race-based admissions practices isn’t constitutional in higher education settings, including medical schools. But the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) continues to promote a recruiting tool that aggregates information on medical school applicants who “self-identify as being from groups historically underrepresented in medicine or who are economically disadvantaged.”
The AAMC, which oversees the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) and cosponsors the accrediting body for all medical schools, appears to be continuing in their efforts to find ways to undermine the Court’s landmark ruling.
As a medical professional who happens to be gay, I’ll be celebrating Dec. 15, the 50th anniversary of the American Psychiatric Association’s decision to remove homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses. The longstanding designation was based on prejudice, not medical research, and the revision marked the beginning of the end for so-called conversion therapy, […]
If the words “diversity, equity, and inclusion” mean anything, it’s that hatred is unacceptable no matter what form it takes. Yet the past two months have made clear to me that institutional DEI tolerates — and thereby encourages — the particularly awful hatred of antisemitism. What else could explain what’s happening at Princeton University? Nothing […]
A program at the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine (OUHCOM) is under investigation by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) for illegal racial discrimination – and the school wasted no time in scrubbing its website of the evidence.
Offered in partnership with the Cleveland Clinic, the Physician Diversity Scholars Program “takes a proactive approach to building diversity” by being “open to all underrepresented minority medical students” at OUHCOM (archived page here). “Underrepresented minority for the Heritage College,” the website stated, “is defined as Black/African-American, Hispanic/Latino, Native American/Alaskan Native and pacific Islander/Native Hawaiian.”
Limiting eligibility to specific racial groups while excluding others violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race.
The University of Missouri-Columbia School of Medicine (Mizzou Med) said that it didn’t participate in the Association of American Medical Colleges’ (AAMC) Diversity, Inclusion, Culture, and Equity (DICE) Inventory, but its devotion to all things DEI raise the question of “why not?”
The DICE Inventory is an 89-question survey that 101 North American medical schools participated in during 2022. Institutions voluntarily submitted their yes/no answers to AAMC, indicating whether or not they engage in specific DEI-related initiatives, programs, or practices. Last year, Do No Harm submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Mizzou Med for the school’s DICE Inventory response, but the Custodian of Records for the University of Missouri System told us, “I am informed there is no document responsive to your request.”

A Tuesday X post from the ANA encourages nurses to listen to its “curated podcast bundles” that each offer free continuing nursing education credits. “This holiday […]
The country’s largest doctors’ co-op is being taken to court over a recruitment scheme that offers up to $100,000 as a signing-on bonus only to black medics. Vituity, which treats over 8million patients a year, offers the bonus under its ‘Bridges to Brilliance’ program in a bid to attract more black applicants. But the campaign group […]

The American Nurses Association (ANA) is promoting podcasts on “activism” and “rooting out racism” to nurses seeking Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) credits, the Daily Caller has learned exclusively. Nurses can earn 12 complimentary credit hours by listening to three “bundles” of episodes of the podcast See You Now, co-hosted by Johnson and Johnson, according to emails obtained […]
The Joint Commission (TJC) is familiar to healthcare professionals as the entity that has them scrambling to prepare in the days and weeks prior to an accreditation survey of their facilities. The patient safety realm is a large part of TJC’s mission to ensure healthcare organizations “excel in providing safe and effective care of the highest quality and value” for the public. But there’s a new National Patient Safety Goal (NPSG) that claims identifying patients by race and ethnicity – rather than as individuals – will make “safety” a priority.
Based on an element of the Leadership chapter of TJC’s accreditation standards (LD.04.03.08) “which addresses healthcare disparities as a quality and safety priority,” NPSG 16 took effect July 1, says the TJC’s website. Although the accreditation requirements aren’t changing, TJC adds, “the change is being made to increase the focus on improving healthcare equity versus reducing healthcare disparities.” This is outside the usual tone of the NPSGs over the past twenty years, which traditionally focus on true patient safety issues such as improving staff communication and using medications safely.
The Association of American Medical Colleges’ (AAMC) powerful dual role in overseeing the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) and cosponsoring the accrediting body for all medical education programs in the U.S. puts pressure on the schools to adopt its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda. Elite universities employ DEI proponents to embed this organization’s ideologies into all aspects of their programs, and the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Medicine (Mizzou Med) is no exception.
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents obtained by Do No Harm show how Robin Clay, M.Ed., the manager for DEI initiatives at Mizzou Med, pushed out highly politicized AAMC events and trainings throughout 2022. According to his MU bio, “Robin is a passionate student advocate who is excited to train future, patient-centered, and socially conscious physicians.”
Pensacola, FL – Do No Harm, a prominent national nonprofit committed to safeguarding healthcare from radical and divisive ideology, filed a lawsuit against the unlawful and discriminatory leadership program offered by Vituity in which there are leadership incentives exclusively for one race. Vituity, a medical staffing agency, proudly promoted the “Bridge to Brilliance Incentive Program” […]
