In December, the New England Journal of Medicine started examining its handling of historical injustices like eugenics, slavery, and Nazism in a self-reflective series. Medical historians emphasize the significance of confronting uncomfortable historical truths.
Brandt and Abi-Rached discuss the challenge of dealing with NEJM's minimal coverage of Nazism's oppression of European Jews, comparing it to Harvard's examination of its ties to slavery. Institutional self-observation is vital.
