Report: Med Schools Increasingly Reject Non-Woke Applicants

The report, compiled by the nonprofit Do No Harm, reviewed admission processes and found that some medical schools appear to be screening out applicants based on their politics. Authors of the report wrote, "A review of the admissions process at 50 of the top-ranked medical schools found that 36 asked applicants their views on, or experience in, DEI efforts. Many were overt in asking applicants if they agreed with certain statements about racial politics and the causes of disparate health outcomes.

This focus on identity politics is not limited to elite medical schools. Schools outside the top-ranked tier are also probing for information about candidates' attitudes toward race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and more.

The goal, it appears, is to turn ideological support for health equity and social justice initiatives into a credential that increases an applicant's chance of acceptance, to screen out dissenters, and to signal to all applicants that they are expected to support this new cause."

The nonprofit aims to push back on woke theology infiltrating the medical field. Do No Harm found most websites of medical schools directed potential applicants to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). The AAMC applicant guide notes that a wide range of criteria is employed by a "holistic review" that promotes "numerous aspects of diversity."

Duke University asks applicants to describe their "understanding of race and its relationship to inequities in health and health care." Before the request, their literature reads, "Potential sources of health inequities include race, gender, education, income disability, geographic location, and sexual orientation.

Moments to Movement (M2M) is Duke's collective stand against systemic racism and injustice. The name signifies going beyond passive moments of reflection and becoming more active as we build to make lasting change for our patients, their loved ones, and each other." Do No Harm's report notes that AAMC supports the inclusion of questions related to DEI. This may pressure applicants to answer a sure way to be accepted.
