The latest data suggests, there are more than 150 accredited medical schools in the U.S. However, only four of them, less than 3%, are located on the campuses of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) is one of those institutions. The Atlanta-based institution, regarded as being one of the nation’s top leading educators of primary care physicians, is marking 50 years of focusing on improving community health outcomes. For the second May installment of “Coffee Conversations,” Rose and the team head to MSM to learn more about how the school has been championing health equity for five decades.

 

Guests include:

 

Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice, the president and CEO of Morehouse School of Medicine

 

Dr. Rick Kittles, the senior vice president for research at Morehouse School of Medicine

 

Dr. Adrian Tyndall, the dean and executive vice president for health affairs at Morehouse School of Medicine

 

Jeromey Beaman, the president of the Student Government Association at Morehouse School of Medicine
