Medical school overrules students to allow ‘worrisome’ pro-life student club

Administrators at the Midwestern University Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine last week overturned a decision by the student government to ban a pro-life student club, angering the school’s future doctors.

The Student Government Association had recently decided in a near-unanimous vote to block Medical Students for Life from setting up a chapter at the university, a decision which the university’s administration overruled.

"The University and College administration met with students on both sides of this issue, explaining the guidelines and sharing their reasons for the decision to approve this new club, while assuring the students that all medical information is monitored by faculty," the university said in a statement to MedPage Today. "Both the Dean of Students and the Dean of the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine are in support of this decision, along with the University President."

The administration added that the petition which was circulated to protest the group’s formation "involved a small portion of the total medical student body."

Some students decried the university’s move, telling Ms. Magazine that the Medical Students for Life club is “worrisome” and will lead to “violent” behavior.

"Midwestern University Medical Students for Life disseminates blatant medical misinformation and encourages violent and obstructive behavior towards clinics and providers," said one student identified as “Sarah”.

"It's kind of worrisome to be endorsing [Medical Students for Life] on a medical school campus," said another student, identified as “Alec”.

But some consider it worrisome that these students are about to join the ranks of America’s doctors, adding to growing concerns that the next generation of healthcare workers has already been hijacked by globalism.

In August medical students at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Medical School swore fealty to the globalist agenda at a white coat ceremony. 

A video of the ceremony shows the Class of 2026 chanting the bizarre pledge, led by Associate Dean for Undergraduate Medical Education Robert Englander. The oath was written by 15 medical students. 

“With gratitude, we, the students of the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Medical School Class of 2026, stand here today among our friends, families, peers, mentors and communities, who have supported us in reaching this milestone,” Englander began as students followed along in their copies of the oath. “Our institution is located on Dakota Land. Today, many indigenous people throughout the state including Dakota and Ojibwe, call the Twin Cities home; we also recognize this acknowledgement is not enough.” 

Some parts of the pledge mentioned issues like “health care violence.”

“We commit to uprooting the legacy and perpetuation of structural violence deeply embedded within the health care system." 

“We recognize inequities built by past and present traumas rooted in white supremacy, colonialism, the gender binary, ableism, and all forms of oppression.

“As we enter this profession with an opportunity for growth, we commit to promoting a culture of anti-racism, listening, and amplifying voices for positive change," the pledge continued, before giving a nod to the environment and vowing to incorporate “indigenous” medicine.

"We pledge to honor all indigenous ways of healing that have been historically marginalized by Western medicine, knowing that health is intimately connected to our environment, we commit to healing our planet and communities.

“We vow to embrace our role as community members and strive to embody cultural humility. We promise to continue restoring trust in the medical system and fulfilling our responsibilities as educators and advocates,” the oath stated. “We commit to collaborating with social, political, and additional systems to advance health equity.”
