Health equity is not a buzzword at Meharry Medical College School of Medicine—it is a mission expressed through innovative research, transformative education, exceptional and compassionate health services, and policy-influencing thought leadership. This workshop is designed for community college and university premed students who want to see how a mission-driven medical school empowers diverse populations and trains physicians to improve the well-being of humankind. We will also discuss what admissions committees value in service, leadership, resilience, and community-engaged scholarship for mission-fit applicants. Sonja Harris-Haywood, M.D., MS, MA, Dean of Meharry’s School of Medicine, will share how her work in curriculum transformation, urban health partnerships, and NIH-funded research on culturally competent care informs Meharry’s approach to training future physicians. You can come, ask your questions, and get answers about preparing for medical school, aligning experiences with mission, and positioning your story with integrity. Most importantly, you will hear directly from the source, not second-hand rumors or advice from people who have no clue about the admission process. Leave with clearer priorities, renewed purpose, and actionable next steps.

This session is designed for community college, transfer, post-bacc, and university premeds who want a realistic roadmap. Dr. Ogbu-Nwobodo will also talk about mentorship, wellness, and sustainable success today. Most importantly, bring your questions.

Designed for community college, university, and post-bacc premed students, this session translates big impact into concrete preparation, including the habits, experiences, and character that training programs tend to value.
