On this episode of The Sherry Sylvester Show, we dive into the critical issue of merit and standards in Texas medical schools. Despite recent higher education reforms like Senate Bill 37, which prioritize merit in admissions and faculty hiring, many medical schools continue to push DEI and race-based programs. Join host Sherry Sylvester and TPPF's Dr. Cliff Porter, MD, PhD, as they discuss the erosion of medical ethics, the decline of the Hippocratic Oath, and the urgent need to restore patient-focused standards in medical education. From pass/fail grading to the dangers of politicized healthcare, this episode uncovers what’s at stake for Texas patients and physicians.
Key Topics:
- Texas’ higher education reforms and their impact
- The persistence of DEI programs in medical schools
- The importance of the Hippocratic Oath
- Why merit-based admissions matter in medicine
- Insights from Dr. Cliff Porter’s journey from historian to physician
