racism, and lack of diversity

quote:

Graduate medical education programs at the Tulane University School of Medicine were placed on probation by a national accreditor, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, (ACGME) last week. The probation follows a public fight over allegations of racism in the school’s graduate program this February stemming from the suspension of Dr. Princess Dennar, who is Black, from her position overseeing a residency program.

The school was informed of the decision on July 2, according to an email sent to the School of Medicine by Lee Hamm, the school’s dean. In the email, Hamm wrote that “given issues of confidentiality, we are limited in the information we can share about the ACGME’s decision.”

However, Hamm outlined two broad areas of concern: “oversight of our [graduate medical education] programs;” and “improving our learning and working environments, including enhancing equity, diversity, and inclusion.”

Coming to a doctors office near you: diversity not competency!

We will need a second accrediting agency to do the job ACGME used to do.

At least there is equity and inclusion of the capital B in black.

So let’s focus on things that have nothing to do with teaching graduate students about medicine. Got it.

Every black woman should be given an MD or pHD or her choosing, along with any faculty position she desires, at any time she wants.

Anything less is racist.

Her mama name her “Princess,” but she a Kwane now.

I do not want a doctor anywhere near me because he/she simply fit the criteria for a diverse student body in med school. That's bullshite. I think the whole thing is bullshite, but when it comes to medicine you don't play around like that.

Why not, they do it with engineers who are responsible for all sorts of safety issues.

Seriously… I want the most qualified person to try to save me or someone I love from something. I don’t think “equity” has a place in this.

Can you imagine all the bending over they are about to have to do?

Good luck to them turning down black med school applicants, professors, promotions etc.

Lol the program she was director of was put on probation because she was incompetent. Pretty good cause for being fired.

Yet the school is still called racist.

Incompetence knows no race, creed, nor ethnicity.

However, certain races and ethnicities are protected against incompetence in the current environment.

All of this shite just makes it harder for black doctors who deserve to be there when they finish. People automatically discount the whole bunch bc everyone assumes they aren’t qualified
