UCLA's medical school recruited first-year students to write DEI and anti-racism curriculum.
In documents obtained through a public records request from the medical advocacy group Do No Harm, the medical school was recruiting “tutors” to “create new curricular content for our SRHE thread—lectures, panels, discussion guides, cases, new electives—as well as audit and analyze existing curricular content for other SRHE threads.” SRHE is the school’s name for its Structural Racism and Health Equity curriculum.
“The UCLA School of Medicine’s plan to recruit students to be instructors as well as to develop curriculum in training other medical students is a terrible idea,” Goldfarb continued. “Curriculum should be developed by experts. Students that have been out protesting or engaged in other such activities are not experts in anything and should not be developing curricula.”
Answering a “frequently asked question” about why students should be interested in becoming a “tutor,” the recruitment document said it could be used as an “opportunity to take frustrations at missed opportunities and problematic sessions and transform them into action; form of health justice in a community that we are all stakeholders in and accountable to.”
“The course in structural racism at UCLA consists of far-left ideologies utilizing critical race theory as its touchstone,” Goldfarb said. “The concept that society should be divided into oppressed and oppressors can only lead to divisiveness and to worse health outcomes as patients trust in the healthcare system is further eroded.”
