are more likely to accurately assess Black patients’ pain tolerance and treat them accordingly," for instance,"prescribing them appropriate amounts of pain medication." A footnote refers to an amicus brief from the Association of American Medical Colleges , the same source that led to Jackson’s first mistake.
It's unfortunate that Jackson and her elite-trained clerks were led astray by yet another falsehood. But it’s unconscionable that the Association of American Medical Colleges got the facts so wrong in such a high-stakes case. Most concerning of all, it’s unsurprising for this once prestigious yet still powerful organization.
These are the actions of a radicalized organization – one that puts political demands above its stated goal of improving medical education. The AAMC’s faulty justification of race-based admissions, seen in its amicus brief, is bad enough. Yet the association’s extremist turn doesn’t end there. The AAMC has quietly graded its member schools’ commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.
