About us
As the first and only School of Global Health in the nation, Meharry Medical College is advancing its work to eliminate global health equities. The school is an outgrowth of the Institute of Global Health Equity, and fills an important gap in the global healthcare continuum as it will be taking a new and more holistic approach to global health. Presently, global public health education tends to focus on population-wide interventions. The School of Global Health will take a multidisciplinary and multi sectoral approach to health and economic improvement. Future degree programs will focus on four initial areas: Political Determinants of Health, Mental Health, Population Health, and Health Communications.

Today, Meharry honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a visionary leader who dedicated his life to justice, equality, and the power of community. Dr. King reminded us that “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?” MLK Day is more than a day off—it’s a day on. It’s an opportunity to come together and make a tangible impact in our communities. Whether through volunteering, mentoring, or simply lending a helping hand, every act of service brings us closer to the world Dr. King dreamed of. Let’s honor his legacy by embracing this day of service as an opportunity to foster hope, equity, and kindness. Together, we can build stronger communities and brighter futures for all.

On Episode 14 of the #QualityMatters Podcast, our expert panel breaks down the importance of health equity. With the resistance faced against health equity in 2024, LaShawn McIver, MD, MPH, Bryan O. Buckley, DrPH, MPH, MBA, Daniel Dawes, Camille Burnett, and Tosan O. Boyo discuss what this means for health equity in 2025 and beyond! Listen today and join in on the important conversation: https://bit.ly/3W2vZme - Today, we honor the incredible Aletha Maybank, MD, MPH, the AMA’s first Chief Health Equity Officer and founder of the Center for Health Equity. Her transformative and visionary leadership has set forth a powerful foundation for advancing health equity and justice. “From developing and launching exceptional programs such as the Medical Justice in Advocacy Fellowship to equip the next generation of medical professionals to champion health equity and justice, to crafting the comprehensive health equity communications guide, 'Advancing Health Equity: A Guide to Language, Narrative, and Concepts,' among so many innovative accomplishments, she has set a new benchmark for advancing inclusivity and cultural humility for all healthcare professionals around the globe. Dr. Maybank’s enduring legacy at the AMA will continue to serve as a beacon of inspiration, guiding future health leaders as they work to achieve optimal health for all.” - Daniel DawesThank you, Aletha Maybank, MD, MPH, for inspiring us all! #medicaljustice #globalhealth #publichealth #healthequity #healthleaders https://lnkd.in/ebYXreT2
AMA’s first chief health equity officer to depart at year’s end ama-assn.org - Student Highlight! Fawn N. R., MPH. I chose to attend Meharry because it resonated deeply with my faith and belief system. My current role as the Equity Coordinator at New Hanover Health and Human Services involves advancing health equity both within public health and social services. Driven by my passion for health equity, I encountered Meharry's School of Global Health on LinkedIn. I was immediately drawn to the newly launched PhD in Global Health Equity. Further research revealed Meharry's mission statement, "Worship of God Through Service to Mankind," which profoundly resonated with my faith. The use of the word "worship" powerfully connected with my spiritual values and reaffirmed my conviction that this was the right path for me. Meharry Medical College has provided Fawn Rhodes with a unique and transformative educational experience. The program has challenged her to think critically on a global scale, fostering a leadership mindset and a holistic approach to problem-solving. This has equipped her to analyze programs comprehensively, identifying both areas of strength and those requiring improvement.
- The School of Global Health took the time yesterday to celebrate all of the amazing achievements for the semester! We are big on mental health and wellness. We are big on ensuring our team members are able to be the best version of themselves, so we paused to be thankful and grateful for each other. Can you guess who had the best festive attire on? Inbox us and the winner will receive a prize. #healthEquityMatters #GlobalHealth #OnlineEducation #WeNotMe
