Norman Wang, MD, sued his employer, the American Heart Association and the publisher of the association’s peer-reviewed medical journal Dec. 16, 2020, claiming he was demoted and slandered after penning an op-ed criticizing affirmative action.
UPMC removed Dr. Wang from his post as director of its clinical cardiac electrophysiology fellowship program in August 2020 after backlash erupted on Twitter about his peer-reviewed article.
