It has never been easy to become a medical doctor, but today, the nation’s best and brightest have to do more than graduate college with straight A’s, ace their MCATs, and spend considerable time and money applying to med school.
If top students are fortunate enough to reach the herculean goal of getting into medical school, they must then spend the next four years dodging progressive politics that are seeping into the medical school curriculum at an alarming rate. There is now a push—backed by the American Medical Association (AMA) and the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations— to add climate change to a medical student’s already packed course load. A coalition of nearly 200 medical schools supports this move.
The coalition claims climate change has unleashed an epidemic of disease to which doctors must now pay particular focus. What are these exotic illnesses, you may ask? Asthma, heat stroke, Lyme disease, allergies, and respiratory and cardiovascular conditions are some of the ailments listed by the leaders behind the “climate change in med school” movement. Climate change is “really the greatest health danger of our century,” said Mona Sarfaty of the Medical Society Consortium on Climate on Health.
