Top med school putting wokeism ahead of giving America good doctors

Nearly three-quarters of top ranked medical schools — and 80% of the top 10 — ask applicants about their views on diversity, equity, inclusion, anti-racism and other politicized concepts.

NEW YORK POST – Elite medical schools are deliberately recruiting woke activists, jeopardizing their mission of training physicians.

The same holds true for Columbia University’s Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, which is tied for third. It states its commitment to “diversity,” then asks applicants to prove how their “background and experiences” will “contribute to this important focus of our institution.”

Other medical schools are more direct.
