Antisemitism Rising in Medical Fields | Calgary News

A new review in the Rambam Maimonides Medical Journal reveals a shocking surge in antisemitism across global healthcare systems, with Jewish medical professionals reporting dramatic spikes in hostility since October 7, 2023. In Canada, just one percent saw antisemitism as a major issue before that date—now it’s 98%, with 31% considering leaving the country. High-profile resignations, like Montreal’s chief cardiac surgeon, highlight real-world consequences, while U.S. surveys show similar jumps—from 40% to 88% experiencing antisemitism. Despite widespread harm, fewer than 2% of institutions have incorporated antisemitism education into DEI training. The authors urgently call for moral action: education, engagement, and enforcement—including teaching the Holocaust’s connection to medicine—to protect Jewish professionals and restore safety in healthcare.
