About

The institution is organized into the School of Medicine, School of Dentistry, School of Graduate Studies and Research, and the newly established School of Applied Computational Sciences, with its clinical training and dental programs recognized as flagship offerings. The close-knit campus culture in North Nashville is deeply anchored in community-based care, professional mentorship, and a shared mission of serving the underserved. A defining characteristic of Meharry is that, despite its small size, it produces a disproportionately large percentage of the primary care physicians practicing in medically underserved communities across the United States.
Wikipedia:Meharry Medical College is a private historically black medical school affiliated with the United Methodist Church and located in Nashville, Tennessee. Founded in 1876 as the Medical Department of Central Tennessee College, it was the first medical school for African Americans in the South. While the majority of African Americans lived in the South, they were excluded from many public and private racially segregated institutions of higher education, particularly after the end of Reconstruction.
