Opinion: Listen: Uché Blackstock on diversity in medicine and a ‘life-altering’ decision

In this week’s episode of STAT’s “First Opinion Podcast,” I talk with emergency physician turned diversity consultant Uché Blackstock. Her First Opinion, “Why Black doctors like me are leaving faculty positions in academic medical centers,” published in January 2020, was a call to arms for many Black physicians. We also talked about a “green book” for prospective medical students, #DNRTulane, the strong current of medicine that runs through her family, and more.
