https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/watch/1df07400-3c45-4240-af5a-819f5916c1aa During a U.S. House Education and Workforce Committee hearing, Congressman Burgess Owens (R-UT) challenged medical school leaders about the growing influence of DEI and ideological coursework in medical education. Owens argued that future physicians should spend their limited classroom time mastering the scientific knowledge needed to diagnose and treat patients—not studying political activism or social theories that do not improve patient outcomes. He questioned officials from UCLA and UCSF about controversial courses that included topics such as settler colonialism, white fertility, prison abolition, border abolition, and queer liberation, asking whether those subjects are still being taught today. Watch this five-minute exchange as lawmakers examine whether America's medical schools are returning their focus to medical competency, merit, and evidence-based education.
