Chaired by former HMS dean Jeffrey Flier and charged by George Q. Daley, dean of Harvard's Faculty of Medicine, this report examines the state of open inquiry at Harvard Medical School and recommends ways to strengthen respectful dialogue, scholarly debate, and engagement across differences. Drawing on seventeen committee meetings and listening sessions with students, faculty, and department chairs, the sixteen-member working group found that students and faculty frequently self-censor on controversial topics — most acutely in required courses on medical ethics, health policy, and social medicine. Its eleven recommendations call on HMS to apply institutional policies in a content-neutral way, present contested topics with a genuine diversity of viewpoints, model debate through a highly visible event series, and protect good-faith expression of minority views from professional penalty. Throughout, the report grounds open inquiry in the school's core mission and attends to tensions distinctive to medicine, where personal conviction meets professional duty and activism meets patient care.
