Hello T1W:

I wanted to let you know that the link you shared with respect to WI med school embracing DEI is written by an organization interested in dismantling DEI efforts across medicine, rather than supporting it.

The article talks about how DEI efforts in admission processes are going to harm patient care, and that the woke ideologies are unjust and harmful to the state.

I understand the value of reading different ideas and perspectives, but I wanted to let you know that I don’t think this article is one that reflects the goals of T1W as I understood them at the conference this year. I might suggest that you remove the link or send a “correction” email identifying the discrepancies between the values of the Do No Harm organization that authored it and T1W.
