Seattle Children’s Hospital Segregates Doctors by Race in Leaked Training Materials

Newly-leaked training material from Seattle Children’s Hospital reveals how the hospital segregated doctors by race and asked them to invoke “repressed racial memories” and “race-consciousness” during their training.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, the training in question took place in August of 2022, and was mandated for all employees in the gastroenterology department. The training session divided staff into three “racial caucuses:” White, black, and “non-black people of color (POC).” The segregation was justified as being an effort to “minimize harm to our black learners and facilitator.”

Once segregated, each “caucus” was tasked with completing a “racial identity development exercise” that was ordered by “diversity consultants,” including far-left activist Robin Deangelo, the author of the anti-White book White Fragility. The black participants, for example, were asked how they “work against internalizing anti-black messages,” while the “non-black POC” employees were told that “black people will always be more susceptible to structural racism than other non-black people of color.”

White doctors were mandated to “divest” from their “Whiteness” and to “unpack their racial stories.” They were ordered to think about “repressed racial memories” and “commit to practicing racial storytelling with at least one other White person.”

This training lasted for four whole workshops, and was run by Roberto Montenegro, a child psychiatrist at Seattle Children’s Hospital. His online biography openly admits that he “uses a social justice lens to help children and youth surmount the trauma inflicted by systemic racism(s).” Others involved in the disturbing training include Ashley Jarrett, a “learning consultant” at the hospital, and April Baker-Bell, a “diversity trainer” hired from outside the hospital.

“These training sessions are simply ideological indoctrination sessions,” said Stanley Goldfarb, the founder of Do No Harm, in a statement reacting to the leaked materials. “There’s no evidence that they will improve health care, but rather serve to further polarize patients and physicians and ultimately undermine the trust that all patients should have in their health care institutions.”

The Seattle Children’s Hospital scandal is just the latest example of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives being forced onto institutions across the country, ranging from the medical field to academia and the military. Such far-left, race-obsessed programs have come under greater scrutiny in recent years, triggering multiple lawsuits and activist efforts to eliminate them. Their implementation in the medical field has especially drawn widespread backlash, as such race-based teachings threaten the neutrality of the medical field and its devotion to the Hippocratic Oath, as it may teach doctors to prioritize patients of their own race while not caring as much for patients of other races.
