A nonprofit advocacy group is hoping to continue making inroads through 2024 in combating what the organization calls the “disastrous consequences of identity politics” in modern medicine, including transgender ideology and critical race theory.

Do No Harm says on its website that it “represents physicians, nurses, medical students, patients, and policymakers focused on keeping identity politics out of medical education, research, and clinical practice.”

“We believe in making health care better for all — not undermining it in pursuit of a political agenda,” the group says, noting that it works to counteract divisive and controversial fads including “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) programs as well as “youth-focused gender ideology.”

Stanley Goldfarb, who helped found Do No Harm and who was previously a professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine, told CNA in an interview that, starting years ago, he “became more and more aware of this trend that was going on around the nation to have more and more identity politics and social issues be injected into the medical school curriculum.”
