To tell the truth, I’ve rarely given money, and none in the past years. But here is the manifesto of social justice for my medical school (excerpt as too painful to read it all):

quote:
Moving the Needle on Social Justice

Yale School of Medicine is committed to addressing social justice through education, research, and community engagement.

To the School of Medicine Community,

The marginalization of members of our society due to race, socioeconomic status, gender and sexual identity, education, or other factors is unfortunately also reflected within many aspects of our national health care system. Social inequities play out at both an individual and systemic level; social justice attempts to improve the lives of those who are disenfranchised. YSM faculty, students, and staff have made a concerted effort to address social justice issues through initiatives that range from curricular reform to research to patient care. This work extends to involving community representatives in our efforts to conduct research and improve health.

On the education front, the U.S. Health Justice (USHJ) elective, created by two medical students, Tehreem Rehman, MD ’18 and Robert Rock, MD ’18, aims to educate health professional students about social determinants of health and the obstacles to favorable health outcomes encountered by marginalized populations. Dr. Rock also created “Making the Invisible Visible: Art, Identity & Hierarchies of Power,” a session using art to explore the expression of bias in western culture and its impact on patient-provider relations. Originally developed as part of the USHJ elective, the session is now included in the required curriculum for first-year medical students.

Damn shame that a cool name like Bob Rock is wasted on a leftist.

I told my school a while back that if they could afford a Diversity Dean, then they didn't need any money from me.

Really? This is beyond ridiculous. I do recall teaching hospitals providing free medical care to a large portion of the population. If you come from a wealthy background and spend time in the ER in inner city hospitals you learn about all socioeconomic groups very quickly. Compassion and learning how to relate to people from different backgrounds and those that do not speak English is all part of it. Having courses in this sort of thing must mean that Yale medical school is only admitting affluent students who have never rubbed elbows with anyone not on the New York social register.

I can tell you that the year I was admitted, I was the only student in the class who had done pre-med at a community college...next year also one student, turned out to be the same community college. Needless to say, we became good friends.

BTW two para postings in my thread just minutes after I started it...don’t know whether to be proud or just keep looking over my shoulder. Big Grin

When I was in medical school first year (1996) welectured from 8-5 most days and took exams on Saturday as to not miss out on lecture time. There were no electives until 4th year. With discussions to shorten medical school to 3 years to reduce costs, to add this is ridiculous. It’s feel good crap that adds nothing to the training you need to be a clinician. Sad. They probably don’t teach how to do a simple physical exam any more. Order a dang CT and consult someone else....

All things being equal, a Yale M.D. would have been good enough for me. Now I can’t be sure. They’re killing the brand. I’ll still trust your advice doc.

That’s one of the most disturbing things about it. They are in hot water with their alumni already, but they don’t give a shit. Their endowment is so big, they can’t spend it all and don’t need any more alumni donations, it would seem.

I fondly recall a time not too long ago when your doctor was more concerned about your health and not your social status.

Not sure either. I am going to give it a go though.

Give extra good medical care to black, poor, trans, and high school dropouts because they are screwed by whitey every turn in life. By giving the marginalized (in my head I think of someone covered in margarine) better care than you provide rich, old, white guys you will solve injustice in the world.

Treat people equally. If you had decent parents and educators you should already know this sort of thing. Waste of time.

Perhaps they want us to lower research on skin cancer and put all that money into sickle-cell anemia research? Other than that, I also have no idea.
