From the article:
Meharry Medical College in Nashville and the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School Health Care Management Department recently announced a joined MD/PhD program to foster more diversity in the healthcare field. The new Meharry/Wharton alliance serves as a continuance of a long-existing collaboration between Wharton, the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics at the University of Pennsylvania and Meharry’s Center for Health Policy. The joint MD/PhD program will further both institutions’ efforts to bolster minority influence in healthcare and increase participation by members of underrepresented communities in health research. The program is expected to launch in 2021.
