The Idaho legislature moving to stop the physician training pipeline that does a 2-2/3 program with UW. This currently trains about 40 physicians, mostly Idaho natives, in a cohort.

The reason is 'idaho values', which boils down to UW teaching modern medicine and ethics of bodily autonomy and Idaho elected officials not liking it.

This is just one more brick in the walls building between US states over progressive vs conservative states.

Jesus Christ. The real shame is that Idaho is such beautiful land, filled with abhorrent people. We should give the entire state back to the native tribes.
