Is Woke Medicine Metastasizing?
By Eileen F. Toplansky
In 2022, Dr. Stanley Goldfarb exposed the alarming takeover of health care and medical training by woke political ideology.
Goldfarb... tackle[d] two disturbing trends in medicine: the dumbing down of standards for entrance into medical schools and the capitulation of medical school curricula to woke posturing at the expense of rigorous clinical training.
Goldfarb maintained that “abandoning the traditional values such as treating all patients equally and recruiting the best and the brightest students... [would] aggravate health disparities and undermine the trust of patients of all races."
The book was a wake-up call regarding the destructive nature of woke medicine and the American Medical Association’s (AMA) adoption of the “Organizational Strategic Plan to Embed Racial Justice and Advance Health Equity.”
Many U.S. medical schools have embraced the idea that American healthcare is systemically racist, that White physicians and other providers are infected with racial bias, that racism accounts for the disparities in health outcomes between Blacks and Whites, and that the only antidote to racism is ‘anti-racism.’
