The Association of American Medical Colleges removed information on "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" from its website after a report came out from the organization, "Do No Harm."

"Do No Harm," which advocates keeping politics out of medicine, released a report last week detailing how the AAMC used its prestige and influence to promote DEI initiatives and other leftist policies in the medical world.

The AAMC "facilitates much of medical education in the United States and administers the MCAT, the test students take to get into medical school," according to The Daily Wire.

According to the report, the group was given $1 million annually to “support technical assistance and direction to help increase diversity in health fields.”

The Centers for Disease Control was set to provide nearly $5 million over four years to support “strategies to build confidence in COVID-19 vaccines among health care personnel and communities that are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.”

Shortly after "Do No Harm" released its report, the group removed information about DEI-related grants from its website. They also restricted access to information about a database that tracked the race and sex of medical personnel, according to The Daily Wire. 

“Considering their laser focus on all things DEI, it’s curious that the AAMC would take down a web page that described the federal and private grants it receives, especially when it contains information on programs that are DEI-focused,” the author of the "Do No Harm" report, Laura Morgan, told the outlet.

“Based on the organization’s past actions and initiatives, the AAMC is proud of the work they do to promote divisive ideologies throughout medical education; so why not continue to let the public see how much money they are receiving from the federal government and private foundations?” Morgan added.
