A new program for MEP students wanting to go into medicine has opened. The program is named after the amazing Dr. Paula Mahone, The MEP former president and world famous Perinatal Specialist. The first student Nehemiah, (right in picture) is entering his third year of study, majoring in Biology at Grandview University in Des Moines, Iowa. Nehemiah has always dreamed of being a anesthesiologist. He visited Meharry Medical College in Nashville, TN, May 2-4, 2018. He spent the morning shadowing Dr. Rodney Burt (left in Picture) a MEP sponsor and African American Anesthesiologist.
