Episode 6156
About the Episode
Dr. Uché Blackstock says Black physicians make up only 5.7% of doctors across the U.S., and the price for Black patients is severe. In her new book "Legacy," Dr. Blackstock traces this inequity back to a report that came out in 1910, forcing five of seven Black medical schools to close. She discusses with Michel Martin.
