Worship of God Through Service to Mankind

Meharry Medical College is one of the nation’s oldest historically Black academic health sciences centers. We are a community of scholars, research leaders and clinicians –– from every demographic –– committed to advancing healthcare for all.

A community of scholars and learners

Meharry includes five schools: School of Medicine, School of Dentistry, School of Graduate Studies, School of Applied Computational Sciences and School of Global Health. Our graduate and professional academic programs include online, hybrid and in-person offerings in medicine, dentistry, health sciences, global health, and data science and other applications of artificial intelligence.

150-year legacy

Meharry has a proud legacy of education, research, healthcare and community service. “Diverse Issues in Higher Education” annually lists us as a leading national educator of African Americans with M.D. and D.D.S. degrees and Ph.D. degrees in the biomedical sciences.

Life at Meharry

Meharrians are scholars and leaders dedicated to serving underserved communities through high standards of excellence and compassionate action.

Immersive community research

Meharry empowers diverse, underserved populations through research and thought leadership. These activities advance health equity and connects labs to the bedside and the classroom, providing faculty and students remarkable insight.

We are pursuing groundbreaking research in genomics, social determinants of health, precision health and other areas that will improve healthcare for all –– especially underserved populations.

Compassionate care

Our clinics provide patient-centered care for the entire family. Offerings include dental care on campus and, through the Meharry Medical Group, an ever-growing number of clinics in the Middle Tennessee area.

A Leader in Oral Healthcare

Dr. Dancy is a proud Meharrian graduating from the college in the Class of 1998.  Today he is a leading restorative and cosmetic dentist in Atlanta, Georgia.    “Meharry afforded me the opportunity to learn the craft of dentistry from people who looked like me. I wake up every day loving what I do. In my career, I’ve learned the business of being a clinician who puts patients first—and I train others to do the same.”

Kevin Dancy, DDS

Legacy of Service

Samantha Seibert, a 2025 Meharry medical graduate, continued her family’s rich legacy.  For generations the Seibert family has been deeply rooted in Meharry’s mission of education, service, and community care.  Nearly 30 years ago, the Wilda Seibert Adopt-A-Grandparent Program was established to provide free dental care to low-income seniors -impacting more than 2,000 lives and exemplifying Meharry’s commitment to healthcare for all.
