Jewish patients reportedly ‘hiding their identity’ at University of California

Faculty at the state school’s San Francisco medical school told the “Washington Free Beacon” that advocacy workshops for students “betrayed a breathtaking lack of professionalism.”
 
(Nov. 19, 2024 / JNS)
Jewish patients coming to the University of California, San Francisco for medical care report hiding their identity, a senior faculty member at the school told the Washington Free Beacon.

The professor added that the public school has contributed to “an erosion of professionalism” and a “loss of the centering of the patient-physician relationship” with its activist teaching, per the Free Beacon.

The publication reported that a required, six-week medical “justice and advocacy” workshop taught that an anti-Israel protest on Nov. 16, 2023—one that blocked the San Francisco Bay Bridge and prevented, among other vehicles, three UCSF trucks carrying organs to be transplanted that day—was a “‘direct action,’ akin to ‘sit-ins’ or ‘vigils,’ that disrupt ‘business as usual’ to ‘pressure targeted decision-makers.’”

UCSF was and may yet be one of the top medical centers in the US. The treatment one of my children received there probably, literally, saved my child's life. My child had Langerhans Cell Hystiocytosis, a rare, at the time often deadly, disease. One of the few specialists in treating the disease was at UCSF and, ironically, possibly Jewish.

CSUSF, a different State of CA university in SF has tolerated active antisemitism against Jewish students for several decades.
