Trauma Code

Steven Thrasher comes into our WBAI studio in Brooklyn to talk about his new book The Overseer Class the day before its May 19th publication.

Dr. Oni Blackstock shares with the Trauma Code how the federal government's LCME is removing guidance on health equity for American medical schools as part of a larger assault on both black health outcomes and health education as a whole. Medical workers and institutions have a duty to push back and stand on principle in support of health equity research and education.
