As the 2020 graduates of Morehouse School of Medicine emerge from great tradition and enter the world of “new normal,” rife with change at unprecedented levels, their virtual graduation is the first of many firsts on the horizon.
These newly minted medical doctors, biomedical scientists and public health practitioners are the first class of graduates leaving the shelter of academia and joining the frontline of responders in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Amidst the constant changes caused by COVID-19 we remained focused on our ultimate goal to do our part in leading the creation and advancement of health equity.
We are focused, we are resilient, we are 2020.”
