Woke Medical Association Scrubs DEI Info From Website After Brutal Report | Eastern North Carolina Now

    The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) moved to restrict and remove information from its website after a report revealed its full-throated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.

    Last week, Do No Harm, an organization committed to de-politicizing medicine, published an exhaustive report detailing how the AAMC wielded its influence and prestige to push DEI and other leftist policies. The AAMC facilitates much of medical education in the United States and administers the MCAT, the test students take to get into medical school.

    After the Do No Harm report dropped, the AAMC this week pulled information from its website on grants it had received, and restricted access to information about a database that tracked the race and sex of medical personnel.

    Do No Harm Senior Director of Programs Laura Morgan, who authored the report on the AAMC, told The Daily Wire that it was strange for the organization to remove the information.

    "Considering their laser focus on all things DEI, it's curious that the AAMC would take down a web page that described the federal and private grants it receives, especially when it contains information on programs that are DEI-focused," Morgan said.


    "Based on the organization's past actions and initiatives, the AAMC is proud of the work they do to promote divisive ideologies throughout medical education; so why not continue to let the public see how much money they are receiving from the federal government and private foundations?" she asked.

    The grant information, which was archived and featured in Do No Harm's report, shows that the AAMC has received millions of dollars from the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    The CDC was to provide $4,539,543 over four years to support "strategies to build confidence in COVID-19 vaccines among health care personnel and communities that are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19." Other information on the partnership with the CDC can be found throughout the AAMC website.

    A separate grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation gave the AAMC $1 million annually to "support technical assistance and direction to help increase diversity in health fields."

    The page also showed that the AAMC had a contract with the NIH over its "Faculty Roster," which tracks the demographic information of faculty members at medical schools in the United States. The AAMC restricted a separate web page on the Faculty Website after the Do No Harm report. The current link to the page now says "Sorry, you do not have permission to access this page."

    "The records contained in the FAMOUS [Faculty Administrative Management Online User System] platform track each individual faculty member's history of appointments, rank, and tenure status," Do No Harm noted in its report. "Institutions with the same login credentials can pull reports from the database that specifically include sex and race/ethnicity information."

    The AAMC did not return requests for comment on why the information on the grants was scrubbed or why it had restricted information on the faculty tracker.


    Throughout its website, the AAMC makes clear its embrace of DEI ideology. It lists "diversity, inclusion, and equity in health care" as one of its four primary mission areas and says that DEI "in medical education and the physician workforce is critical for everyone's health."

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?

  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.

  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.

  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.

  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.

Considering the current overwhelming obstacles inflicting stress upon America's working class: rampant inflation; energy insecurity; supply chain turmoil; banking failures; foreign policy disasters; government corruption; (DEI) Diversity Equity Inclusion narrative, with WOKE extremes practiced; Climate Change ideology; intractable crime wave in Leftist cities; wide open border by executive design; a permanently discredited Legacy Media; failed or failing education industry, just to name a few of the many: Who should Americans blame?

  Donald J. Trump

  Joseph R. Biden

  Leftist controlled Congress for the last 4 years.

  Bloated, incompetent bureaucracy weaponized and poorly managed

  The electorate, US, for putting these fools in elected office that utterly fail
