Listen Later

This time on Code WACK!

For the second episode in our two-part series on racism in medicine, in honor of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr, we're asking the question: What is racially concordant care and how does it help save lives? What else can be done to reduce deadly disparities in medicine?

To find out, we spoke to Dr. Uché Blackstock. Blackstock, author of the New York Times best-selling book "Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine," which is now available in paperback. She's also the founder and CEO of Advancing Health Equity, an organization that aims to dismantle racism in healthcare and narrow racial health inequities. Blackstock was named one of Time's 100 Most Influential People in Global Health and one of the Top 13 Innovators Shaping the Future of Health by Fortune Magazine.
