About Us.

Meharry Medical College (Meharry) is well-known for its service to African Americans, other racial and ethnic minorities, and underserved populations. Meharry focuses on improving health equity and reducing health and health care disparities through patient care, medical education, and research initiatives.

Founded in 1876 and chartered in 1915, it is the first medical school dedicated to the education of African Americans in the Southern United States.

As one of the nation’s oldest HBCUs and academic health science centers, Meharry educates health care providers, medical, dental, and biomedical researchers and public health and health policy experts.
