LIVE | Lawmakers grill witnesses over combating DEI in American Institutions | House hearing

Education and Workforce Committee Republicans are committed to fostering the best opportunities for students to learn, workers to succeed, and employers to thrive. The House Committee on Education and the Workforce is holding a hearing titled "Training Activists, Not Physicians: The Impact of DEI on Medical Schools," examining how diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies affect medical education, admissions, curriculum, and physician training. Lawmakers are hearing testimony from medical school leaders and healthcare experts as they debate whether DEI initiatives strengthen healthcare by improving access and representation or divert attention from core medical education. The hearing comes amid broader national efforts to reassess DEI programs in higher education and follows recent changes to accreditation standards for U.S. medical schools.
