  How to Root Healthcare in Community: Lessons from HBCUs

  Aug 12, 202632 min

  Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and HBCU medical schools are on the frontlines of creating a healthcare workforce that is representative of the communities they're a part of. What can the rest of the healthcare system and medical schools learn from them? Host Anton Gunn talks with Dr. Marjorie C. Gondré-Lewis (Howard University), Dr. Lisa Barkley (Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science), Dr. Leonardo Seoane (Xavier Ochsner College of Medicine), and Dr. Tabia Henry Akintobi (Morehouse School of Medicine) about how HBCU medical schools build trust, train doctors who reflect the communities they serve, and tackle physician shortages through community-rooted solutions. Their experiences offer a roadmap for how partnership built around community voices can transform care.
