We cannot rely on foreign-trained doctors to fix the doctor shortage, DFI Senior Fellow @JayPGreene writes for @AcademicRenewal. American medical schools turn down thousands of qualified applicants each year, forcing hospitals to rely on doctors trained abroad.

Here's a taste of my argument in a new article on the causes and practical solutions for doctor shortages in the US in @AcademicRenewal (1/):

[The Martin Center @AcademicRenewal]

U.S. medical schools reject qualified applicants while hospitals increasingly rely on foreign-trained doctors to fill residency positions.

@jaypgreene on why we aren't doing more to train America's next generation of physicians

[Jay P. Greene @jaypgreene]

There are more than enough qualified applicants who get turned away from US med schools to help address the doctor shortage without having to continue increasing reliance on IMGs. Expanding the number of spots in MD and DO schools by about 2,000 per cohort would be enough (4/)

Pretty hard to argue with this.

When El-Sayed isn’t researching “interethnic mating” and finding it harmful, his work is standard woke science. In this paper, he proposes that anti-Arab discrimination causes Arab-Americans to die early.

Ridiculous.

[David Harsanyi @davidharsanyi]

The entire NatCon project is tied to one man. Thats why they get hysterical when you criticize him. It's their purity test. Everything they do is meant to shield him. When you think about it in those terms it will make sense.

"The National Institutes of Health funded tens of thousands of dollars in taxpayer money for a study looking at Indigenous Two-Spirit/LGBTQ people with and without HIV, also known as '2S/LGBTQ+ PLWH.'

Ian Kingsbury from Do No Harm, criticized the 'enormous intellectual dissonance in this project,' saying 'The researchers fail to acknowledge that advancements in HIV treatment benefiting LGBTQ patients were entirely thanks to Western medicine.'

Treating spirituality or indigenous ways of knowing as a lens for disease treatment is unscientific and unacceptable,' Kingsbury stated.

He also criticized the 'tiny sample size and faulty research design... '"

Useful work by @AFPWV compiling school building utilization for every county. Data like this should be published routinely by the state, not obtained through FOIA. It should inform hard decisions on closures, consolidation, the funding formula, etc.

DFI and the @LegInsurrection Foundation uncovered millions in grant funding for an identity-obsessed “intersectionality” ideology that has evaded the Trump administration's strong efforts to root out unlawful discrimination.

Leftists: What he means is, “I support universal health insurance.”

[Ian Kingsbury @PeerReReview]

In other words, the delusion that it’s possible to be neither or multiple sexes at the same time is exceptional, even within the trans-identified population.

[Defense of Freedom Institute @DFIPolicy]

A new report from DFI and the @LegInsurrection Foundation (tag) found $257 million in federal spending on grants tied to woke ideology, an increase of $27 million in the last two months alone. Learn where the money is going, and what can be done to stop it.

I listened to @yhazony discuss my critique of the NatCon conference in Jerusalem with @willchamberlain. Yoram repeatedly mischaracterizes my position. A few corrections are in order.

1. Yoram claims that I am against JD Vance. This is simply false. He offers no evidence because he has none. I am a Trump supporter. Yoram, by contrast, is a Vance partisan. He all but admits it. Trump has two more years in office, and Yoram is already campaigning for his successor. Personally, I intend to make up my mind about the 2028 election in 2028.

Today, the United States and Israel are fighting a war together against Iran. Yoram, however, is engaged in a bigger conflict: the war against John Locke. He dreams of the intellectual revolution that a Vance presidency might bring.

2. Yoram's dismissive treatment of the Declaration of Independence is bad history. Its contemporary political implications are worse. His effort to read Locke out of the American founding threatens to divide the grand coalition that Trump has assembled.

In his conversation with Chamberlain, Yoram casts himself as the great unifier, dismayed, more in sorrow than in anger, by schismatics like me who insist on picking petty and unnecessary fights. It's a clever debating tactic, but it conceals the nature of his own project. He is the one calling on conservatives to choose sides in an intellectual civil war partially of his making.

3. I have had reservations about NatCon in the past, but kept them to myself. I shifted that posture do to NatCon's failure to confront Groyper antisemitism directly. Yoram has failed to grasp the gravity of the historical moment. We are witnessing an extraordinary resurgence of antisemitism, including on the American right. This antisemitism is a dagger not just at Jews but at the United States in general and at the Trump coalition in particular. It has domestic partisans and malign foreign supporters. I have never seen anything like it. Yoram's gut reaction to this wave is to rake the ADL over the coals for its liberalism.

His current pose, suggesting that Tucker Carlson's departure from the Republican coalition turns the Groyper threat into yesterday's news, is just that, another rhetorical maneuver masquerading as an argument. The threat does not disappear because Yoram and his friends declare it politically inconvenient or safely behind us.

4. Yoram brands me a "liberal" because I insist that John Locke is part of the American founding. This is funny. It's like insisting that hydrogen is not a component of water. When I point out the error, Yoram denounces me as a partisan of hydrogen. Recognizing Locke's influence on the founding is not an ideological confession. It's a well-grounded historical observation.

5. Yoram has constructed a highly idiosyncratic account of intellectual history in which Edmund Burke stands in fundamental opposition to John Locke. But on many of the great political questions of their age, the two men stood on the same side, making different kinds of arguments in defense of a broadly shared tradition.

The differences in emphasis between them do not require us to choose one and repudiate the other. We stand on the shoulders of both. We are heirs to a grand tradition that both helped shape. I am a "supporter" of Burke and Locke simultaneously, just as I am a "supporter" of both hydrogen and oxygen. I see no reason to choose between the essential components of something valuable that exists regardless of what attitude I adopt toward it.

Yoram presents himself as the champion of conservative unity. But he is the one drawing artificial lines of division, imposing ideological tests, and treating those who reject his idiosyncratic categories as enemies. Yoram is the divider.

Medical Education’s answer to concerns about reliance on foreign-trained doctors: Edward Said and postcolonial theory.

Apparently Third Worldist thinking is supposed to reassure us about outsourcing medical training.

When you make stuff up it’s hard to keep your story straight. Maybe those imagining conspiracies among conservative education policy experts need to work on improving their own conspiracy so they can coordinate better. Read more in this excellent take-down by @rickhess99
