Medical school should produce physician scientists, not physician social justice activists

It should be both! And Social justice influenced policy is very often based on science!

The question is worded wrong. It implies things like outcomes measurement and understanding/assessing causes of/influences of disparate outcomes is not science.

This is a specious argument all around. Most Doctors end up being pure clinicians. Some become scientists, others go into public health. Like saying Caltech should never offer classes in English or Political science even though that's not what they're famous for.

This is a false choice. Science and social justice are not mutually exclusive. Both are essential to healthcare.

Medical school should produce good, caring physicians - end of. Then it’s up to them if they want to be scientists or activists.
