You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Morehouse School of Medicine''' ('''MSM''') is a [[Private university|private]] [[medical school]] in [[Atlanta]], Georgia.  Originally a part of [[Morehouse College]], the school became independent in 1981.

==History==

===Establishment===
Founded as a part of [[Morehouse College]] in 1975 during the tenure of college president Hugh M. Gloster, with [[Louis Wade Sullivan|Louis W. Sullivan]] as dean, the School of Medicine at Morehouse College began as a two-year program in the basic sciences. The first students were admitted in 1978 and transferred to other medical schools for the clinical years of their training.

===Independent institution===
[[File:Morehouse School of Medicine.jpg|thumb|Louis W. Sullivan National Center for Primary Care]]
The institution became independent from Morehouse College in 1981, with Sullivan as President, and was fully [[Higher education accreditation in the United States|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.<ref name=":0">((Cite web|url=https://www.msm.edu/about_us/PastPresidents.php|title=Past Presidents|website=Morehouse School of Medicine|access-date=2019-03-15|archive-date=2019-03-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190312182145/http://www.msm.edu/about_us/PastPresidents.php|url-status=live))</ref>

Sullivan remained president until 2002. He now holds the title of President Emeritus.<ref name=":0" />

Former [[Surgeon General of the United States|US Surgeon General]] [[David Satcher]] served as director of the National Center for [[Primary care|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]].

[[Valerie Montgomery Rice]] was named the sixth president of the school and the first woman to lead the free-standing medical institution in July 2014. In addition to president, she also retains the deanship. Montgomery Rice is a renowned infertility specialist and researcher, and most recently served as dean and executive vice president of MSM, where she served since 2011. In this role, she led MSM’s widespread academic and clinical programs in health sciences and led its strategic planning initiatives for patient care, research and community engagement.

On February 3, 2009, [[Eric Holder]], then-vice chairman of MSM's board of trustees, was confirmed as [[U.S. Attorney General]].

On July 13, 2009, President [[Barack Obama]] nominated Morehouse School of Medicine Trustee  [[Regina Benjamin]] as U.S. Surgeon General. Benjamin was the second MSM trustee to hold a high-profile position with the Obama administration.

A 2010 study ranked MSM as the number one medical school in the country in the terms of social mission.  The social mission score used in the study evaluated schools on percentage of graduates who practice primary care, work in health professional shortage areas, and are underrepresented minorities.<ref name="annals">Mullan F, Chen C, Petterson S, Kolsky G, Spagnola M. The social mission of medical education: ranking the schools. Annals of Internal Medicine. 2010 Jun 15;152(12):804-11.</ref>

In 2017, it was announced MSM would complete a $50 million expansion by 2020. The expansion will include its first-ever [[student housing]], an [[ambulatory care|ambulatory care center]], additional parking, and a retail component.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.msm.edu/RSSFeedArticles/November2017/msmwestsideexpansion.php|title=Morehouse School of Medicine Plans $50 Million Expansion|website=www.msm.edu|access-date=2019-07-19|archive-date=2019-07-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190719130104/https://www.msm.edu/RSSFeedArticles/November2017/msmwestsideexpansion.php|url-status=live))</ref>

In July 2020, MSM received a $40 million grant from the [[United States Department of Health and Human Services]] to help redress the alarming [[COVID-19 pandemic]] impact on African-Americans and other more vulnerable communities.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/morehouse-medical-college-receives-40-million-grant-covid-19-rising-n1232038|title=Morehouse School of Medicine receives $40 million grant for COVID-19, rising Black mortality rate|website=NBC News|date=25 June 2020 |access-date=2020-06-27|archive-date=2020-08-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200813121114/https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/morehouse-medical-college-receives-40-million-grant-covid-19-rising-n1232038|url-status=live))</ref> In September 2020, MSM received $26.3 million from philanthropist [[Michael Bloomberg]] to help lower debt for the medical students enrolled.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.msm.edu/Community/bloomberg-philanthropies-gift/|title=2020 Bloomberg Philanthropies Gift|website=Morehouse School of Medicine|access-date=2020-09-05|archive-date=2021-01-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210104203929/https://www.msm.edu/Community/bloomberg-philanthropies-gift/|url-status=live))</ref>

In December 2020, MSM partnered with [[CommonSpirit Health]] to form the More in Common Alliance. It is a ten-year initiative to help reduce health inequity. [[Veronica Mallett|Dr. Veronica Mallett]] serves as the senior vice president and chief administrative officer as of August 2023.<ref>((Cite journal |date=2022 |title=Recognized Leader in Health Disparities Veronica Mallett, MD to Join The More in Common Alliance |url=https://issuu.com/marcomm-msm/docs/primarily_caring_to_print_online_singles |journal=Primarily Caring |volume=2 |issue=2 |page=8 |issn=2690-098X))</ref> One of her tasks is to match the $100 million commitment CommonSpirit Health has made toward the program. Research programs are a part of the effort to increase [[health equity]].<ref>((Cite web |last=Cheney |first=Christopher |date=2023-02-24 |title=Physician Workforce Diversity Partnership Advancing |url=https://www.healthleadersmedia.com/clinical-care/physician-workforce-diversity-partnership-advancing |access-date=2023-08-22 |website=Health Leaders Media |language=en))</ref>

In May 2022, MSM had a groundbreaking ceremony for a new $45 million academic facility.  The 52,300-square foot building is scheduled to be complete in early 2024.  The building is named after longtime MSM board member and state lawmaker [[Calvin Smyre]].<ref>((cite news | url=https://www.ajc.com/education/morehouse-medical-school-names-45-million-building-after-calvin-smyre/IVEJSEL2BJCCBA3CCHZLSYBF5A/ | title=Morehouse medical school names $45 million building after Calvin Smyre | newspaper=The Atlanta Journal-Constitution | last1=Stirgus | first1=Eric | access-date=2022-06-06 | archive-date=2022-06-02 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220602234223/https://www.ajc.com/education/morehouse-medical-school-names-45-million-building-after-calvin-smyre/IVEJSEL2BJCCBA3CCHZLSYBF5A/ | url-status=live ))</ref>

===Student body===
In 2022, the student body at MSM was 70% African American and 66% women.<ref name="IPEDSmorehouse">((cite web |title=Morehouse School of Medicine |url=https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/datacenter/institutionprofile.aspx?unitId=140562 |website=IPEDS |publisher=[[Institute of Education Sciences]], [[U.S. Department of Education]] |access-date=11 July 2023))</ref> [[Medical College Admission Test]] (MCAT) scores are thought to pose a significant barrier to the number of African American matriculants to US medical schools. Morehouse School of Medicine accepts students with MCAT scores more than one [[standard deviation]] below the national matriculant mean, but then raises their subsequent performance on the [[US Medical Licensing Examination]] Step 1 shift up to or above the national mean score.<ref name="Elks2018">((cite journal |last1=Elks ML, Herbert-Carter J, Smith M, Klement B, Knight BB, Anachebe NF |title=Shifting the Curve: Fostering Academic Success in a Diverse Student Body. |journal=Acad Med |date=January 2018 |volume=93 |issue=1 |pages=66–70 |doi=10.1097/ACM.0000000000001783 |pmid=28678099 |pmc=5753825))</ref>
