Tennessee State University & Meharry Medical College Accelerated MD/DDS Opportunity
Tennessee State University and Meharry Medical College offer an accelerated 7-year MD/DDS program with the potential for a full-ride scholarship—yet there are currently no Black male applicants. This is a powerful opportunity where increased awareness can make a real impact. The program is open to qualified Black male high school seniors who have at least a 3.5 GPA and a 28 ACT score, providing a pathway to earn a medical or dental degree in just seven years. If you know any graduating seniors who aspire to become doctors or dentists, please share this opportunity widely within your networks.
Interested candidates should submit their information as soon as possible to Ms. Barbara Murrell (Founder & Chair) at bmurrell@tnstate.edu or (615) 804-6125, or to Ms. Lalita Hodge (Program Coordinator) at lhodge@tnstate.edu or (615) 963-6949. This is a rare and impactful opportunity that should not be missed.
