Administration
Throughout our history Meharry Medical College has served diligently as a beacon of hope for the underrepresented in many ways. First, by providing education in the healing arts to those who otherwise would not be allowed to pursue a health professions degree; second, by tirelessly providing health care services with compassion and understanding to the most vulnerable patients, often without compensation; and third, by delving into scientific and community-based research to discover solutions to health disparities that affect the populations we serve.
