They denied us employees the right to our God-given bodily autonomy; Now a judge reprimands them for using third parties to ban Jews from areas of campus. When will their civil rights abuses end?
Because of their ideological capture, the U.C. system and UCLA in particular (and countless other U.S. universities) have betrayed their missions and can no longer be considered serious places of learning. Since committing themselves to DEI ideology in 2020, UCLA dropped from 6th to 18th place in the U.S. News and World Report's ranking for medical research. In some groups of admitted students more than 50 percent failed standardized tests on emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics; this compared with a 5 percent failure rate nationally. As reported in the Washington Free Beacon, their faculty leveled such critiques as " . . . a third to a half of the medical school is incredibly unqualified." Takeaway point: if you value your life more than your pronouns, avoid treatment from any MD who graduated from UCLA since 2020. For that matter, any MD who graduated med school after 2020.
First, I love that quote: "If you value your life more than your pronouns, avoid treatment from any MD who graduated from UCLA since 2020." Perfectly stated.
Second, as an attending, I noticed a decline in the quality of students probably going back to 2011 or so. I would ask basic questions about adrenergic receptors (alpha-1, alpha-2, beta-1, beta-2, etc) and it was as if they were hearing the concepts for the first time. These were 3rd-year students who presumably passed the first 2 grueling years of med school. I couldn't believe that the med school that was too prestigious to have me as a med student (I went to Tufts), was now producing med students who didn't know things I learned in college.
That is frightening. Though I have been out of medical academia for many years I am eager to network in some way with like-minded MDs to try to reform our system of medical training and medical care.
