Jewish patients reportedly 'hiding their identity'

(JNS) — Jewish patients coming to the University of California, San Francisco for medical care are hiding their identity, a senior faculty member at the school told the Washington Free Beacon. 

The professor added that the public school has “contributed to an erosion of professionalism” and a “loss of the centering of the patient-physician relationship” with its activist teaching, per the Free Beacon.

The publication reported that a required, six-week medical “justice and advocacy” workshop taught that an anti-Israel protest on Nov. 16, 2023—which blocked the San Francisco Bay Bridge and prevented, among other vehicles, three UCSF trucks carrying organs to be transplanted that day—was a “‘direct action,’ akin to ‘sit-ins’ or ‘vigils,’ that disrupt ‘business as usual’ to ‘pressure targeted decision-makers.’”

It also found that a lecture at the school referred to the “humanitarian crisis in Gaza” as “structural trauma” that is similar to “redlining” and “historical medical prejudice.”

JNS sought comment from the university.
