Why Meharry?

We are the nation’s premier historically Black health sciences institution, founded just 11 years after the Civil War to train formerly enslaved people in the healing arts. 

For nearly 150 years, we’ve remained defined by our focus on primary care and our unwavering commitment to the underserved—even when resources were scarce. 

Today, our schools in medicine, dentistry, graduate studies, applied computational sciences, public health, and research unite around one mission: advancing health equity and shaping policy through a holistic lens. 

Our impact endures—and is needed now more than ever. 

“Never before in history has so much innovation, so much creativity, so much science been brought to bear on the medical needs of humanity, and yet, the disparities that persist-especially in the richest nation in the world-defy explanation and understanding?”
