The School of Graduate Studies and Research (SOGSR) is a national resource for the education of PhDs in Biomedical sciences,
Masters of Science in Public Health (MSPH), and more recently, Masters
in Clinical Investigation (MSCI). Since 1970, Meharry has conferred
more than 15 percent of the PhD degrees awarded nationally to African
Americans in biomedical sciences. Graduates of the School serve
on the faculties of America’s best universities as well as
in leadership roles for many of the nation’s health, pharmaceutical,
and biomedical technology corporations. Students who select Meharry
Medical College Graduate School for their education, participate
in innovative and cutting-edge research programs with a special
emphasis in diseases and conditions that disproportionally affect
underserved populations.
