It has been terribly unfair to those who had better merit but were rejected.

It is also an unfair Scarlet A on the qualified minority doctors.

But it is MOST unfair to the patients who suffered from poor care.
Nobody cares about diversity when their life is on the line, they care about maximal competence.

Of course I have seen a lot and have lots of stories from medical schools. From hospitals, etc
Of course I won’t share the here.

But I will say the majority of minorities being accepted over other more qualified candidates were the sons & daughters of successful minority parents doctors, lawyers, businessmen/women.
Sadly, this misguided Affirmative Action was not reaching the underpriviliged.

The whole thing is sad. I am not complaining personally. I just knew that I had to score higher and be better as a white male to make, so I did that.
But many deserving people were rejected because of race, sex, and ideology and I know this with certainty for all three.

Medical School and "DEI"...btw...there is no question that UCLA's Geffen Medical School is ranked among the best in the country..

Read the attached L.A. Times article that explains the debunking of a right-wing meme...and why 'Grades' aren't the ONLY measure of acceptance...there, or at any top tier Med School...like UCLA.

One of the strangest individuals I’ve ever (virtually) met. Though he has some pretty strong competition from 6-7 others here.

Expertise is concerned...I've got all I need from family physicians whose grades alone qualified for any Residency...how many Med School grads entering "The Match" get accepted for interviews at top tier Hospitals, like Columbia, Harvard, Penn, Stanford and UCSF?

If you're so confident, Baron...come out from behind your curtain and engage with me...coward.

tests and interviews with Residencies in order to move forward with their careers. From discussions with our family Docs (that Baron wishes weren't real) about this very issue, I've learned that virtually all Medical Schools...including the Top Tier Schools that everyone would recognize, involve scores, if not hundreds of staff physicians in the recruitment process in order to maintain excellence...and the Results have been Positive.

btw, MAS' article is from a source (City Journal) that is exceptionally biased against minorities, and mirrors the recent complaint about UCLA's Residency Program.

As a libertarian I want as little government control of private party decisions as possible. It’s leftists who want the government to decide these issues.

Equal protection clause (14th amendment) which bars racial discrimination by government entities.

Here is the SCOTUS Blog on the case link….

Now, please answer my question right below, because it actually happened/happens.

How about having the answers to a particular hard test being leaked to a particular medical school society?

I had people in my freshman class who had been there for years trying to pass thr same test with no clear limit while non minorities were given one chance to make up a failure and they were kicked out if the failed that one chance.

those schools have a responsibility to ensure that health and well being of ALL Americans are attended to.

Here's an AI summary of the reasoning behind Med School student selections...btw, it wasn't that long ago that women were discriminated against when it came to admittance to Medical Schools. For example...OB/GYNs used to be almost all Males...now the percentage of residents is about 80% Female...Baron can probably verify that.

AI Overview

Medical schools prioritize admitting minority students to foster a more diverse student body and physician workforce, ultimately leading to improved healthcare access and outcomes for all. This approach addresses historical and ongoing disparities in healthcare and ensures that future doctors are better equipped to serve the diverse populations they will encounter.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Addressing Health Disparities:
Improved Patient Outcomes:
Studies show that patients from minority backgrounds may feel more comfortable and have better health outcomes when treated by physicians who share their racial or ethnic background.

Targeted Care:
A diverse physician workforce is better positioned to understand and address the specific health needs of various communities, leading to more effective and culturally sensitive care.

2. Promoting Equity and Inclusion:
Breaking Down Barriers:
.
Increasing minority representation in medical schools helps dismantle systemic barriers that have historically excluded certain groups from the medical profession.
Social Accountability:
.
Medical schools have a responsibility to be socially accountable, ensuring that their graduates reflect the diversity of the communities they serve.

3. Enhancing the Learning Environment:

Diverse Perspectives:
A diverse student body brings a wider range of experiences and perspectives to the classroom, enriching the learning environment for all students.
Cross-Cultural Understanding:

Interactions with students from different backgrounds can foster empathy, cultural humility, and better communication skills, which are crucial for effective teamwork and patient care.

4. Addressing Workforce Needs:

Meeting Future Demand:
As the U.S. population becomes more diverse, the need for healthcare professionals who can effectively serve all communities is growing.

Closing the Gap:
Increasing the number of minority physicians can help address the shortage of healthcare professionals in certain underserved communities.

5. Ethical Considerations:

Social Justice:
Many believe that diversifying medical schools is a matter of social justice, ensuring that opportunities are available to all qualified individuals regardless of their background.
Fairness and Opportunity:

Holistic review practices, which consider a range of factors beyond traditional metrics, help create a more equitable admissions process.

In summary, medical schools strive to admit minority students not just to meet diversity goals but also to improve healthcare quality, address health disparities, and promote a more equitable and inclusive society.

and serving their community hospitals...they are in constant communication over the quality of physicians applying for those spots. If you'd like to learn more about this issue, search this Forum for keyword "UCLA" under my username from back in March of this year.

The rest are asinine.
