About this listen
Xavier University of Louisiana is launching a new medical school in partnership with Ochsner Health, and we break down why this is a major moment for higher education, healthcare equity, and economic development in Louisiana. Etosha and Charles dig into what this partnership means for the city, the state, and the Gulf South, including why this will become one of only a handful of HBCU-based medical schools in the country and how it strengthens New Orleans’ growing biomedical district.
We talk about the long-term impact of building a full pipeline for Black doctors and healthcare professionals, the role research and teaching hospitals play in stabilizing local economies, and how this move helps combat brain drain by keeping talent rooted in Louisiana. From workforce development to healthcare access in underserved and rural communities, this is one of those rare higher-ed stories that checks a lot of boxes, and we’re giving it the attention it deserves.
