I think this document will be ignored by most doctors. They are too busy to spend their valuable time reading this stuff. I started reading the AMA document and was quickly turned off when I encountered the term “minoritized”. Any writer or document that contributes to the continual degrading of the English language in such a manner cannot be worth reading or taken seriously.

I am afraid that it will not be ignored by the medical schools. As a matter of fact, I can guarantee that some of them will teach it.

I struggled to finish reading the Advancing Health Equity “guide.” Almost every paragraph has something objectionable.I made it to page 17 before I gave up.
Minority means “less than” and is now considered pejorative.
Disparities should be replaced with inequities.”Health “inequities,” in contrast, are explicitly defined as health differences that are avoidable, unnecessary,unfair and unjust.”
How can they label all differences as inequities without knowing the reasons? I suppose for the authors genetic predispositions are inequitable?
I agree they’re not fair, but they’re part of life! What would they suggest doing about it? Pretend they don’t exist?Conventional phrase: How can we promote healthy behavior?
Suggested Health Equity perspective: How can we democratize land use policies through
greater public participation to ensure healthy living.I’m sorry. That does not say the same thing. By their approach, people in less than ideal living situations have no responsibility for their behavior and choices because of land use policies?? Do they want doctors not to counsel patients, but go join some social justice organization?
How did we get to this insanity, and how can we stop it?

Write the AMA and the AAMC and object. They will not listen, but it will make you feel better. The AMA will not have any really influence on this, but the AAMC will. Write your state Delegate and Senator and ask them to carry a bill to prohibit the teaching of this dangerous nonsense in state-supported medical schools.

First year orientation when most things like this are handed out in a thick packet.

“We recognize the significant contributions that Native Americans/Indigenous peoples and people of African descent have made to this country, particularly to the fields of medicine and science. We celebrate the resilience and strength that all Indigenous people and descendants of Africa have shown in this country and worldwide. Their land, labor, bodies and minds—and those from other historically marginalized people and groups over the course of our nation’s history—have contributed to the wealth of this nation and, by extension, to the AAMC and AMA.
The AAMC and AMA also mourn the loss of life and liberty of millions of others who have historically been oppressed, exploited, excluded, segregated, experimented upon and dehumanized in the U.S. over centuries, and acknowledges their historical trauma and the long-lasting impact this has had on them as an individual, their families and their communities.
The AAMC and AMA understand that while the goal of health equity is inclusive of all communities, it cannot be achieved without explicit recognition and reconciliation of our country’s twin, fundamental injustices of genocide and forced labor. We must remember that we carry our ancestors in us, and we are continually called to be better as we lead this work toward the pursuit of racial justice, equity and liberation.”

Nice cherry pick. You know that is not what is objectionable.
-
Good to know that not everything in it was objectionable. Maybe like so often is the case you have to take the good with the bad and merely ignore the bad.

That was a pro forma preamble to a destructive policy. Read the actual document https://www.ama-assn.org/system/files/ama-aamc-equity-guide.pdf and see what you think personally.

Hardly cherry-picking. This statement was front and center. We know who does the cherry-picking around here.
