To all on here please ignore MeharryDoc, whoever he is since he feels the need to be anonymous. I hope and pray you know who I am, and I encourage you to please come and find me, cause believe I am trying to find you. You don't even deserve to call yourself a Meharrian. I am going to remain professional to my best ability, but please forgive me everyone I am steaming mad over here. No Meharry does not have the reputaton of a Harvard or a Yale. No Meharry is not associated with big names, and fancy equipment, and all those other gadgets big medical schools have. But, what Meharry does have is genuine people who are out to become genuine physicians, and who genuinely want to help people. Just like our institution, we aren't here for fame and fortune because at the end of the day, when you leave this earth, you can't take any of that with you. All you can leave is a memory of the type of person you were on this earth, and a lasting impression on those you touched. Meharry is not unlike other medical schools everyone of them has there pluses and minuses. The curriculum 1st and 2nd year is not that disorganized, and the area that need to be improved are getting improvements. The good thing about the curriculum not being set in stone is that we as students have an input on what needs to be done to make it better. For example, issues that we had with two classes last year were totally revamped this year and are now great for the 1st year students, the same as what happened for us. You see, we may have to go through a course that wasn't as good as it could have been, but then we make suggestions, and the faculty reacts immediately and changes it so it is better for those behind us. Thats another reason why our board scores are improving every year. This Meharry Doc fellow is a coward and he is the exact opposite of what Meharry is about, and its mission. How could you ever speak a negative thing toward the place who gave you the opportunity to fulfill your dream? Meharry has the type of professors that will invite you to there house, feed you, stay with you until all times of night to make sire you understand something, come to class to teach you on their sick bed, and go that extra mile just to make sure you reach your full potential and become the great physician God has called you to be. They too do not do it for fame or fortune, or for pats on the back. They do it so that we can fulfill our mission that has been bestowed upon us. Meharry is one of the best medical schools you could ever go to because you will learn how to become a great physician by experiencing good times and bad, hardships and successes, triumphs and defeat, and most importantly, you will develop a sense of humility and humbleness that has to be learned in order to reach those you will have to help. They took a chance on me and alot of us when we didn't have 30 MCAT scores, and yea we may not average a 240 on boards or what not, but Meharry graduates some of the finest African American Physicians, as well as Physicians in general across this country and world. Patients aren't MCAT scores and STEP 1 scores, those are only instruments to get you through certain doors. But once you are through those doors, having graduated from Meharry you will not only bust through those doors and shine, you will have also created another door for someone else to make it. Lastly, yes we have to work harder and go that extra mile, but in the end, what patient doesn't want a doctor who is battle tested and also willing to go that extra mile for them? Like with all things you get out what you put in. Meharry also makes life long friendships. Not even friendships, it gives you new family because thats what Meharry is, its a family, and trust me you will need that to make it. Whoever MeharryDoc is doesn't understand that sense of family, he doesn't understand Meharry, and he is in no way, shape, form, or fashion what a Meharry student stands for or embodies. We will give back and give all we can. We will go that extra mile, we will go above and beyond all others, whether it be for our patients, for Meharry, in our books, on our boards, and for our family, and not for fame, fortune or anything close, but because thats what being a physician is about, and thats what Meharry is about. If you are one of the luck few to be accepted at Meharry, trust me it is a blessing and you are very fortunate. God has called and placed you here and trust me GOD does not make mistakes. You will become prepared here, you will be ready to serve and practice medicine upon leaving here, and every resource you need to make it here is available. You just have to want it, believe it, and go out and achieve it. Ignore all of this negativity and trust me. I know, because I am a living witness. MeharryDoc please come and find me, im begging you please!
