About Do No Harm
Do No Harm is a membership nonprofit made up of physicians, nurses, medical students, patients, and policymakers focused on keeping identity politics out of medical education, research and clinical practice. We believe in making healthcare better for all – not undermining it in pursuit of a political agenda. Do No Harm seeks to highlight and counteract divisive trends in medicine, such as “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” and youth-focused gender ideology.
As part of our commitment to this mission, we are currently experiencing a significant phase of growth and expansion. To support our increasing initiatives, we are actively hiring across various teams and anticipate continuing to grow throughout 2024.
