The Office of Public Lectures presents: Unpacking Legacy: From the Personal to the Systemic with Dr. Uché Blackstock

October 9 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

Town Hall Seattle, Livestream (Hybrid)

Join the University of Washington Office of Public Lectures, the School of Medicine, and The Graduate school at this valuable event.

In this powerful and deeply personal talk, Dr. Uché Blackstock explores the legacies that have shaped her journey—both personal and institutional. She reflects on following in her mother’s footsteps to medical school, a path that made Dr. Blackstock and her twin sister the first Black mother-daughter legacy at the institution. 

She also confronts a broader, systemic legacy—the entrenched racism woven into every aspect of the medical field. From disparities in medical education to the safety and well-being of BIPOC practitioners, Dr. Blackstock sheds light on the urgent need for change within healthcare institutions. 

Registration opens September 10, 2025.
