(The Center Square) – Medical watchdog Do No Harm’s Center for Accountability in Medicine released its second index on medical schools, ranking schools by excellence and merit instead of identity politics.
Director of the Center for Accountability in Medicine (CAM) Ian Kingsbury told The Center Square: “We created the Medical School Excellence Index so that patients and aspiring medical school students have clear information about which schools are doing the best job of recruiting and training physicians.”
