 [LegalInsurrection] We have been covering the growing racialization of medical schools for several years.
Our CriticalRace.org database of medical schools has received widespread media attention, including this Fox Digital article in July 2023, after we completed documentation at all 156 U.S. based medical schools:
The "racialization of medical education" has created a "national emergency" because many of America’s future doctors are being inundated with critical race theory (CRT) and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), according to the founder of CriticalRace.org.
CriticalRace.org, which monitors CRT curricula and training in higher education, has expanded its Medical School Database to include all 155 accredited U.S. medical schools. Findings revealed a staggering 70 percent provide mandatory or voluntary CRT-related coursework or training for students.
"The extent to which CRT/DEI and related programming has worked its way into medical schools is truly shocking and worrisome. Racial and other activism should not be the focus of medical education," William Jacobson told Fox News Digital....
"The ideological capture of over two-thirds of medical schools demonstrates that CRT/DEI has become a part of the fabric of medical education. We are training future doctors to look at patients through a racial lens, with potentially frightening consequences for society," Jacobson said.
"It’s often said that collapse happens slowly, and then very suddenly. Medical school education is slowly collapsing, but it’s not too late," he continued. "We need to stop the CRT/DEI medical agenda before that collapse becomes irreversible." ....
When you choose, due to the above, an Indian doctor, make sure he's not Pakistani!
NYC’s Albert Einstein medical school gets $1billion gift to pay tuition of all students
[IsraelTimes] A professor at Yeshiva University’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine is donating $1 billion to the New York City school, the largest gift of its type ever given in the United States, to pay the tuition of all of its students, the institution says.
Dr. Ruth Gottesman is making the donation from the fortune made by her late husband David "Sandy" Gottesman, a Wall Street financier and early Berkshire Hathaway investor, who died in September 2022.
"I am very thankful to my late husband, Sandy, for leaving these funds in my care, and I feel blessed to be given the great privilege of making this gift to such a worthy cause," she says in a joint statement with the school.
Gottesman joined the medical college in 1968. During her time at the school, she researched child learning disabilities and created an adult literacy program. She currently is the chair of the Einstein Board of Trustees and serves on the board of the Montefiore Health System, the school’s affiliate hospital.
With the gift, all current full-time students will have their Spring 2024 semester tuition reimbursed and all future students will attend the school tuition-free. Tuition at the school is about $60,000 a year, leaving many students more than $200,000 in debt when they graduate.
"This transformational gift is intended to attract a talented and diverse pool of individuals who may not otherwise have the means to pursue a medical education," the school says, adding that it is the largest gift given to a medical school in the nation.
The medical school, attended by some 1,100 students, is located in the Bronx, one of New York City’s five boroughs, and an area that ranks last in New York State for health outcomes and factors, according to the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute.
