A medical group whose stated mission is "to keep identity politics out of medical education, research, and clinical practice" has release a study that concludes a vast majority of those surveyed have adopted left-wing ideologies in practices that have nothing to do with health. 

The group, Do No Harm, conducted a study that analyzed 28 medical societies since 2010 and found 26 of them have published statements about racism or affirmative action. 

The study also found that 57% of the medical societies put out statements about climate change while 18% gave standpoints on wars in the Middle East.

Roughly 50% gave standpoints about immigration, according to The Washington Times, which reviewed the study.

“The politicization of medical societies represents a betrayal of the public’s trust in health care,”  said Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, Do No Harm chairman, according to the news outlet. “Dues-paying members of the societies and the public they serve should expect nothing less than institutional neutrality from all specialist groups."
