American Medical Association Accused of Politicizing Continuing Education Courses

Nothing is spared from the left’s agenda. Not even medicine.

Just the News reports:

AMA’s medical education infused with political ideology, Do No Harm saysIn its ongoing fight against identity politics in medicine, Do No Harm exposed the American Medical Association this week for content related to identity politics and diversity, equity and inclusion in its Continuing Medical Education courses.Do No Harm Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kurt Miceli told The Center Square: “The level of ideological bias documented in our report raises serious concerns about the integrity of these [Continuing Medical Education] offerings.”In order to maintain their license to practice medicine, medical professionals must continually keep up with their education – in varying degrees state by state – as explained by Do No Harm’s report, with the American Medical Association (AMA) offering such Continuing Medical Education (CME).Miceli told The Center Square that the political ideology found in AMA’s CME courses also raises concerns about “whether accreditation standards overseen by the [The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education] are being applied in a way that genuinely safeguards scientific rigor.”The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) is the only organization providing accreditation to institutions offering CME, according to Do No Harm.Miceli stressed to The Center Square that “physicians rely on CME to stay informed about best practices and remain licensed.”“However, when these courses are filled with unverified claims, divisive ideologies, and political activism, they ultimately cause more harm than good, eroding trust in the medical establishment and hindering evidence-based clinical decision-making,” Miceli said.“To preserve the value of continuing medical education, the ACCME, AMA, and other CME providers must prioritize scientific accuracy and improving patient outcomes over identity politics and pseudoscience,” Miceli said.
