Morehouse School of Medicine
Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) is an independent and private historically-Black medical school in Atlanta, Georgia. Originally a part of Morehouse College, the school became independent in 1981.
MSM was established at the suggestion of several Atlanta community doctors who saw the disparities and outcomes for black patients in Georgia. They approached Morehouse College president Hugh Gloster, who formed a committee in 1970, to analyze the feasibility of a medical school as part of the Atlanta University Center complex campus, that included Clark Atlanta University, Interdenominational Theological Center, Morehouse College, Morris Brown College, and Spelman College.
In 1975, the School of Medicine at Morehouse College opened its doors and Louis W. Sullivan served as the inaugural dean. The first students were admitted in 1978, to a two-year program in the basic sciences, and transferred to other medical schools for the clinical years of their training.
The institution became independent from Morehouse College in 1981, with Sullivan as president, and was fully accredited to award M.D. degrees in 1985. Initially, third-year clinical courses were taught by faculty from Emory University's School of Medicine, but since 1990, the school has taught them itself. In 1989, Sullivan was appointed United States Secretary of Health and Human Services by President George H.W. Bush. Sullivan served in that role for Bush's entire term, until 1993, when he returned to MSM to begin his second tenure as president.
Sullivan remained president until 2002. He now holds the title of president emeritus.
In 1982, Charles S. Finch III joined the faculty of Morehouse School of Medicine as an assistant professor, and in 1989 he became director of international health at Morehouse until 2007.
Former US surgeon general David Satcher served as director of the National Center for Primary Care at the Morehouse School of Medicine. He continued in that role while also serving as MSM's president from 2004 to 2006.
On February 28, 2006, Morehouse School of Medicine announced the appointment of John E. Maupin Jr., D.D.S. as the institution's next president. Maupin departed from his position of president at Meharry Medical College.
