In this episode, I talk with therapist and podcaster Joel Blackstock about the life and legacy of Carl Jung. Our conversation explores Jung's vast intellectual curiosity—his willingness to engage with mythology, dreams, alchemy, and even the paranormal in his search for psychological truth. We reflect on how Jung's openness to mystery continues to inspire those on the path of self-discovery.

Dr. Uché Blackstock is an emergency medicine physician and thought leader whose work is deeply woven with both personal and professional experiences, dedicated to addressing the impact of inherited racism and social ideas of difference within healthcare institutions. She attended Harvard University for her undergraduate degree and medical school. As the founder and CEO of Advancing Health Equity, she leads a transformational organization focused on partnering with health systems to understand implicit bias, enforce accountability and promote cultural competence. Dr. Blackstock's groundbreaking book, Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine, quickly became a New York Times Bestseller, highlighting the urgent need to dismantle racial inequities through the voices of those affected. In today's episode, host Shay Beider and Dr. Blackstock explore the urgent need for conversations around implicit bias in medicine. Dr. Blackstock shares how honoring her mother's voice and story sheds light on the barriers in medicine that transcend individual effort or excellence. The pair discuss the racialized legacy embedded in medical education and practice, and how deeply rooted biases continue to create harmful health outcomes for patients today. Dr. Blackstock challenges healthcare professionals to move beyond performative niceness, confront uncomfortable truths, and examine data that reveal alarming disparities. Shay and Dr. Blackstock also discuss that systemic change is possible and is rooted in understanding, compassion, and cultural humility.

When Dr. Uché Blackstock was a student at Harvard Medical School, she didn't learn about racial health disparities or the history of racial violence that mark the field of medicine. It wasn't until years later, while working in an urgent care in Brooklyn, that Dr. Blackstock was moved to investigate the history of healthcare in America. Now, as a health equity advocate and author of the New York Times bestseller ‘LEGACY: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine,' Dr. Blackstock is on a mission to dismantle racism in healthcare. On this week's episode, Dr. Blackstock speaks to the alarming racial disparities in the American healthcare system and the historic roots of these inequities. Together, Dr. Blackstock and Leah reckon with the past and discuss how we can work towards a more equitable future. She also tips on advocating for yourself as a patient the next time you're at the doctor.

The Author Events Series presents Uché Blackstock  | Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine REGISTER In Conversation with Dr. Joel Bervell The rousing, captivating story of a Black physician, her career in medicine, and the deep inequities that still exist in the U.S. healthcare system. Growing up in Brooklyn, New York, it never occurred to Uché Blackstock and her twin sister, Oni, that they would be anything but physicians. In the 1980s, their mother headed an organization of Black women physicians, and for years the girls watched these fiercely intelligent women in white coats tend to their patients and neighbors, host community health fairs, cure ills, and save lives. What Dr. Uché Blackstock did not understand as a child--or learn about at Harvard Medical School, where she and her sister had followed in their mother's footsteps, making them the first Black mother-daughter legacies from the school--were the profound and long-standing systemic inequities that mean just 2 percent of all U.S. physicians today are Black women; the racist practices and policies that ensure Black Americans have far worse health outcomes than any other group in the country; and the flawed system that endangers the well-being of communities like theirs. As an ER physician, and later as a professor in academic medicine, Dr. Blackstock became profoundly aware of the systemic barriers that Black patients and physicians continue to face. Legacy is a journey through the critical intersection of racism and healthcare. At once a searing indictment of our healthcare system, a generational family memoir, and a call to action, Legacy is Dr. Blackstock's odyssey from child to medical student to practicing physician--to finally seizing her own power as a health equity advocate against the backdrop of the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement.

In early 2020, the world witnessed the rapid spread of a pandemic that brought many industries to a standstill, but the healthcare system remained overwhelmed, exposing deep-seated issues within it. One of the stark realities brought to the forefront was the persistent health inequities that disproportionately affect Black people. As the healthcare system buckled under the weight of COVID-19, it also unveiled the long-standing racial disparities in medical care.Amid this crisis, Dr. Uché Blackstock emerged as a leading voice, one of the first to raise awareness about racial health inequities during the pandemic. Through her consulting firm, Advancing Health Equity, and her bestselling memoir Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine, Dr. Blackstock confronts systemic racism in healthcare and advocates for meaningful change.In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula Edgar and Dr. Blackstock dive into her inspiring journey from Brooklyn to Harvard and beyond, highlighting her battle against racism in healthcare and her passion for public health and equity.

Diversity Matters with Oscar Holmes IV Season 5, Episode 5 Episode Title: Legacy: Racism in Medicine Guest: Dr. Uché Blackstock   Diversity Matters with Oscar Holmes IV is a podcast that explores all things diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) related. In each episode, Oscar and his guests have lively discussions around DEI topics, explore the latest research on the topic, and discuss the implications so that listeners will be more knowledgeable about the topics and be able to apply the insights to their lives.   Show Summary:  "The under 6% representation of Black physicians stems from policies like the Flexner Report, which closed many HBCU medical schools, reducing Black doctors and care quality in underserved communities. We must correct these injustices by improving access to education and support in medical training." — Dr. Uché Blackstock Black physicians have shown resilience, but systemic barriers persist across generations. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Uché Blackstock, a physician, health equity advocate, and author of Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine. She's focused on breaking down these barriers to improve care for marginalized communities. We explore the history of Black representation in medicine, the impact of systemic racism, and urgent reforms for equitable healthcare. Dr. Blackstock offers actionable steps for change, making this a vital listen for anyone committed to health equity. 3 Exceptional Highlights: Even with Harvard degrees, Black individuals still face major health disparities due to systemic and interpersonal racism. Socioeconomic status helps, but Black families still have fewer resources than white families, limiting access to education and opportunities. AAMC data shows wealthier students perform better on the MCAT and are more represented in medical schools due to better access to resources, not intelligence.   Show Highlights:    Can you discuss your mother's journey as a black woman in medicine and the lessons you learned from her?   02:35 - Dr. Uché Blackstock   My mother overcame tough challenges growing up. As the first in her family to attend college, she went on to Harvard Medical School. Her journey taught me the value of returning to serve your community, no matter your education.   What are some urgent reforms needed in our healthcare system to address disparities?   13:07 -  Dr. Uché Blackstock   Opening new medical schools is a step in the right direction, but we need federally and privately funded pipeline programs from early education and more equitable learning environments.   How does the wealth gap contribute to the opportunity gap in education, particularly in medical school?   14:51 -  Dr. Oscar Holmes IV   Unlike fully funded PhD programs, law and medical schools require a full-time commitment and significant financial resources, disadvantaging those without support.   What advice would you give to patients who feel they are not receiving the best health care, and how can they advocate for themselves?   24:47 -  Dr. Uché Blackstock   Prepare questions, bring support, ask about your diagnosis and treatment, and don't hesitate to get second opinions if unsure about your care. Can you share some insights about your mentors and any critical advice that helped you through tough times? 29:15 -  Dr. Uché Blackstock Cross-racial mentoring is essential. Seek out mentors, and offer mentorship when you can.

It's no secret that the relationship between Black people and the healthcare system is a fraught one. And as medical racism continues to go unaddressed, we're seeing more and more negative health outcomes for Black patients, including the perpetuation of harmful conspiracy theories and hesitance to seek medical help when in need.  Joining me this week to talk about the history and statistics behind some of these outcomes is health advocate and New York Times Best Selling Author, Dr. Uché Blackstock. Dr. Blackstock is the founder and CEO of Advancing Health Equity, an organization created with the mission of partnering with healthcare organizations to dismantle racism in healthcare and to close the gap in racial health inequities. During our conversation, we discuss some of the most prevalent examples of hospital neglect experienced by Black patients, how healthcare systems can better engage with Black communities in order to engender trust, and how Black medical students can find support while studying to become physicians.

In 2018, Chris Echevarria launched Blackstock & Weber, the Brooklyn-based footwear brand that has become well-known for its updated takes on classic loafers.  “I own the business 100%, and it's grown 300% every year since we started,” Echevarria said on the Glossy Podcast. Still, he's finding time to launch other businesses and tackle new projects: In November, he introduced the brand Academy, which brings his signature preppy-with-a-twist style to menswear. And, after being announced as creative director at Sperry in September, his debut Sperry by Chris Echevarria collection debuted at Paris Fashion Week Men's last month.  On this week's episode of the Glossy Podcast, Echevarria discusses the throughline of his projects, as well as his long-term goals for his businesses and a recent advertising pivot that's working to his brands' advantage.

Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Uché Blackstock about her new book, Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine.

It's another EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Dr. Uche Blackstock, emergency physician and former associate professor of emergency medicine at the New York University, to discuss her recent book Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons With Racism In Medicine. Then, she is joined by Ken Klippenstein, investigative reporter at the Intercept, to discuss his recent reporting on the U.S.'s covert military presence in the Middle East. First, Emma runs through updates on the US lawsuit against Biden for funding the genocide in Gaza, the genocide itself, the war's regional expansion, US economic development, congressional policy, UAW expansion, RFK's candidacy, and Myanmar's secret prisons, before watching South Africa's response to the continuing genocide in Gaza in the face of the ICJ's ruling, and the complicity of third party states. Doctor Uché Blackstock then dives right into her background growing up within a community of Black physicians, including her mother, to becoming the first Black mother-daughter legacy graduates from Harvard Med, and touches on the impact of her mother's passing from leukemia – largely influenced by racialized environmental risk factors – in shaping her perspective on health and race. Next, Dr. Blackstock steps back to tackle the history of Black physicians in the US, looking at the decrease in the rate of Black physicians in the US from 1910-2008, and the impact of the Flexner Report on shutting down many of the thriving Black educational medical institutions, pushing Black people away from the profession and the remaining Black physicians involved out of their communities. After touching on the importance of both policy and institutional pressure to support continued medical practice in marginalized communities, Dr. Blackstock walks Emma through the greater context of racial discrimination in medicine beyond the socioeconomic, including the bias experienced interfacing with the healthcare system, and how the industry approaches issues that predominantly impact Black people and communities of color, before wrapping up with the particular impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Black communities. Ken Klippenstein then joins, briefly walking through the recent revelations to the US public of US troop activity in the Middle East, exploring why both the US and the host countries prefer to keep the presence low-key, and why that often results in the US public remaining unaware until personnel are killed. Stepping back, Ken walks Emma through the evolution of the Biden Administration's transparency on military activity in the region – particularly in the wake of Israel's siege on Gaza – the role the US is playing in expanding the conflict in Israel, and what to expect from this military presence moving forward. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they walk through the evolving exposé on WWE Tyrant and monopolist Vince McMahon surrounding his myriad sexual abuses, watch Tom Cotton fail to comprehend Asian identities outside of China, and parse through Nikki Haley's reasonably friendly appearance on the Breakfast Club. Ro Khanna provides some hopeful questioning of the FBI, and Aaron calls in to discuss grappling with family's perspective on the genocide in Gaza, plus, your calls and IMs!

Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Uché Blackstock about her new book, Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine.

Uché Blackstock, physician, founder and CEO of Advancing Health Equity, and the author of Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine (Viking, 2024), shares the story of becoming, and practicing as, a Black female physician and how race and racism affect healthcare for patients.

Dr. Erkeda DeRouen talks to Dr. Uché Blackstock, an American emergency physician and former associate professor of emergency medicine at the New York University School of Medicine. They discuss the Flexner Report, the need for diversity in healthcare, and the deep inequities that still exist in the U.S. healthcare system. [00:00] Introduction [01:45] Why Dr. Blackstock Chose to Pursue Medicine [04:21] The Racial Health Inequities in America Today [07:34] Dr. Blackstock's Inspiration For Writing a Book on Health Inequities  [09:19] What is the Flexner Report?  [12:13] The Need Diversity in Healthcare [15:15] All the Things They Don't Teach in Med School [18:34] Things That Could Potentially Improve American Healthcare [22:50] Giving Women and People of Color a Voice  [24:09] Advice for Aspiring Physicians  [25:10] Parting Thoughts  Navigating Unconventional Paths in Medicine Dr. Blackstock talks about the benefits of following the unconventional path on your journey to medicine. Your journey will not be a straight line, so it's okay to break away from traditional molds and find unique ways to contribute to the healthcare system. Dr. Blackstock shares pivotal moments in her career, from leaving academic medicine to starting her own company and becoming an MSNBC medical contributor. Her story serves as a testament to the diverse paths available to physicians and the impact they can have outside traditional roles. Health Equity and Why It Matters Research has shown time and again that a more diverse physician workforce may lead to better patient outcomes and satisfaction. According to Dr. Blackstock, this can only be possible if we make a concerted effort to increase representation of diverse racial and ethnic groups among trainee physicians. Reflecting on her experiences, Dr. Blackstock emphasizes the systemic barriers faced by Black physicians. She sheds light on historical factors, such as the Flexner Report, that contribute to the current underrepresentation of Black physicians. In the chapter, "All the Things They Didn't Teach Me," Dr. Blackstock discusses the need for a revamped medical curriculum. She advocates for integrated learning on health disparities, anti-racism, and social determinants of health.  Grab a copy of Dr. Blackstock's book Legacy on Amazon and reach out to her via Twitter, Instagram, and her Website for more details about his work.    To learn more about how MedSchoolCoach can help you along your medical school journey, visit us at Prospective Doctor.  You can also reach us through our social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MedSchoolCoach Dr. Erkeda's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctordgram/ YouTube: www.youtube.com/@ProspectiveDoctor

This week on The Journey, Morgan DeBaun welcomes Dr. Uché Blackstock, a Black female physician and author of her newly released book, Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine, for a conversation on health disparities in the Black community. The conversation kicks off with Dr. Uché sharing the inspiring story of her mother's journey to becoming a doctor and how the presence of other Black women doctors influenced Dr. Uché's own path in the medical field. She and Morgan delve into the themes of Dr. Uché's new book, exploring the challenges faced by Black physicians and the historical impacts on health outcomes for Black people. Morgan and Dr. Uché discuss various health disparities within the Black community, from the lack of standardized care for patients with sickle cell disease to alarming statistics on Black maternal mortality rates. Dr. Uché explains the role of chronic stress due to racism and issues within the medical community in perpetuating patterns of poor health outcomes amongst Black individuals. She also expresses concern over the trend of health outcomes for Black people worsening instead of improving over the last few years. While the conversation can feel frustrating and hopeless at times, Dr. Uché and Morgan provide insight into how focusing on local community health as well as better practices in health leadership and education can be the key to dismantling systemic barriers in healthcare. At the end of the episode, Morgan makes a commitment to reexamine Blavity's parental leave, and she encourages every listener to commit to being a part of the change as well. After you listen, make sure to reach out and share what action you are taking to make your community a healthier, safer place for people of color!
