@benscoalum1 @TomOliverson I would encourage you to read that study more carefully. Or save your energy and read our critique that exposes it as obvious bullshit. donoharmmedicine.org/research/2026/…

@TomOliverson Surely these false beliefs have left over the past 10 years right? They don't inform any of that wonderful decision making or influence "skill in healing" right? Furthermore, they don't affect some groups more than others do they?

The race of the doctor is irrelevant. Their decision making ability and skill in healing and curing disease is the only thing that matters. We are going to make DEI illegal in Texas medical education in 2027.

1) In the U.S. it’s around 5.5%, not 1% 2) Racial discrimination is wrong and it’s wrong no matter where that number happens to land.

I should have also noted, as the Excellence Index points out, that @YaleMed is one of only a handful of schools to disassociate with AΩA, the national medical honor society. Seemingly every decision at the institution is animated by extreme racial consciousness.

And? Unless you believe in quotas these numbers are irrelevant.

Hogwarts discriminated against muggles because 99.999999% of them didn’t get in.

1989 graduate of UCONN medical school. We were pass/fail and it was bad. After scoring 2.0 (standard deviations) on my first test (biochem) which I tortured myself for, I said, that was dumb, I got a P. From then on, standard deviation goal was 0.0-0.5. Much easier. But not ideal

@CoreyWriting The black applicants they are admitting are excellent. The issue is that they receive many applications from impressive candidates and that they are engaging in discrimination among those excellent applicants, hence the vast differences in the odds of an interview based on race.

I'm not a statistician, but these gaps don't really seem that huge to me. I'm not sure if it proves intentional discrimination, and the presence of statistical gaps is not enough to prove unequal treatment.

Notably, Yale is one of only three medical schools that does pass-fail grading during all four years of medical school, a policy for which they are penalized in our Med School Excellence Index. Bad actors tend to do many bad things. cam.donoharmmedicine.org/medical-school…

At Yale Medical School, a black applicant is 29 times more likely to be invited to interview than an Asian with equally strong academics.   Today, @CivilRights told Yale that its use of race in admissions is ILLEGAL—and that @TheJusticeDept will step in to enforce Title VI. justice.gov/opa/pr/justice…

@AAGDhillon @CivilRights @TheJusticeDept Many such cases, unfortunately city-journal.org/article/medica…

As opposed to what? Male occasionally? The assault on the English language in service of gender ideology is exhausting.

A recent New York Times interview features participants debating whether diversity improves the workplace, but does the evidence actually support that claim? Hear Ian Kingsbury explain why the so-called “evidence” falls apart in a medical setting and fails to show improved patient outcomes.

A couple days ago @bmj_latest was lamenting the taboo around cousin marriage. Today, they're blaming Iran's economic plight on sanctions rather than the enormous sums of wealth looted by regime officials or transferred abroad in support of terrorism. England is truly lost.

@bmj_latest People say the worst thing about cousin marriage is the taboo. I disagree. I think it’s the whole cousins getting married thing.

I have a new piece debunking a new study claiming that teams of all-female obstetric teams reduce the likelihood of maternal complications. 1/

The real sin of cousin marriage is *squints* stigmatizing cousin marriage.

“When the focus on a genetic risk is reframed into a critique of the social practice of cousin marriage there is a danger of getting caught up in media and political narratives about stigma and blame.”

This piece underscores that "implicit bias" is simply a heuristic. The author acknowledges that Hispanic families tend be to less interested in the treatments, then claims "implicit bias" is at play because doctors make judgements about who will adhere to the treatment protocol.
