The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), which determines curriculum requirements for medical students nationwide, will require future doctors to complete “diversity, equity and inclusion competencies.”
“As a starting point, aspiring doctors will have to become fluent in woke concepts such as ‘intersectionality,’ which the AAMC defines as ‘overlapping systems of oppression and discrimination that communities face based on race, gender, ethnicity, ability, etc…’ They will also be expected to demonstrate ‘knowledge of the intersectionality of a patient’s multiple identities’—not to be confused with personality disorders—and ‘how each identity may result in varied and multiple forms of oppression or privilege related to clinical decisions and practice…’ Aspiring doctors will have to learn that race is a ‘social construct that is a cause of health and health care inequities, not a risk factor for disease.'”
