Dean Testimonial
We seek to create citizens of curiosity; physicians and scientists who will ask the tough questions, who will listen carefully to patients, and who will examine and improve healthcare systems.
Empowering Tomorrow’s Healthcare Leaders
To truly build a world in which health challenges are addressed with all perspectives at the table, we must seek out future healthcare leaders from all backgrounds. As such, it is imperative that we build an educational program designed to create a multidisciplinary and fluid workforce. However, the cost of a world-class medical and health sciences education can be a barrier for many to even consider the field. By supporting students through research and scholarship funding, you will be playing a central role in shaping the future of medicine and healthcare.
How Geisel Scholarships Shape Medical Careers
When Joe Graterol, MD, MED ’15, received a scholarship to Geisel, it opened more than just the door to medical education. It empowered Graterol to practice medicine in a way that reflects his values—providing high-quality care to marginalized and underserved populations, and inspiring future generations of doctors from similar backgrounds as him to do the same.
Are Some Cancer Cells Predestined to Spread?
Geisel researchers are tracking the lineage of pancreatic cancer cells to discover which ones will become metastatic, spreading to other parts of the body and posing the greatest risk to a patient’s life. This genealogical information may one day lead to better, more targeted treatments and improved patient outcomes for this highly deadly disease.
Tackling Disparities in Maternal Health
After graduating from the Master of Public Health online/hybrid program at Geisel, Ifrah Ahmed MPH ’23 is working to keep refugees from succumbing to preventable diseases like she witnessed as a child caught in the crossfire of a war-torn nation. She’s also building a global nonprofit to address the maternal and child health challenges she has seen up close throughout her life.
Geisel’s AI-focused Curriculum Trains Digital Health Leaders
When Soo Hwan (Soo) Park ’25, came to Geisel, he recognized the growing presence of AI in healthcare fields, and he understood that future physicians like him would need to know how to use these tools to provide more precise and more efficient patient care. Geisel faculty and leadership agreed with this evaluation of the future of AI in healthcare fields, and a new curriculum was born.
A Revolutionary Approach to Student Mental Health
Geisel’s Healthy Students, Healthy Physicians initiative is redefining what it means to be a healthcare leader. By preparing medical students to meet the stresses and challenges of their profession without sacrificing their own mental health and wellbeing, this first-of-its-kind initiative is training complete physicians who provide medically excellent care, are highly compassionate, and committed to improving the systems and communities in which they work.
