We Should Disaffiliate from the AOA Honor Medical Society
"Institutional affiliation with the AOA perpetuates a flawed system that disproportionately benefits privileged trainees while excluding those that do not fit the socially dominant mold. This is diametrically opposed to justice, equity, and medicine’s oath to “Do No Harm.” Terminating an institution’s local chapter, or “disaffiliating” from the national AOA organization, sends a compelling message. Medical education needs alternative, equitable mechanisms to recognize the excellence of trainees, and graduate medical training programs must adopt holistic review processes that consider the structural and contextual factors shaping applicants’ accomplishments. Moreover, disaffiliation is an effective means by which physicians and trainees alike can serve as national leaders on this issue as well as inspire other institutions to follow. We urge medical students, residents, fellows, and faculty to collaborate in disaffiliating their institutions from the AOA as one tangible, antiracist step to advancing equity in medicine."
