The current staff consists of a Sr. Program Coordinator that manages the day to day operations and corporate responsibilities of the organization. The mission of ARCHE remains to bring its members together to collaborate in these programs. Hundreds of students each year register for courses on other member campuses via ARCHE's cross registration program, which offers students the opportunity for expand their horizons in other fields of study or campus settings. ARCHE's Library Council and library programs include a interlibrary sharing program which allows members to share to the collective resources of all member libraries.

2021 Student Orientation Program
MD NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION 2021 MD NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION 2021 Dear Morehouse School of Medicine Student: Our school is graced by an overwhelming number of exceptionally well-qualified applicants. You are in good company and I am delighted to help you begin your journey into the remarkable profession of medicine. Professional school study is a time of exploration and immersion in your desired specialty. It is a time for the free exchange of ideas, acquisition of new skills, and creation of knowledge. It is a time when faculty will change from being your teachers to being mentors and colleagues. Morehouse School of Medicine was founded in 1975 as the Medical Education Program at Morehouse College. In 1981, Morehouse School of Medicine became an independently chartered institution and the first established at a Historically Black College and University in the 20th century. Our focus on primary care and addressing the needs of the underserved is critical to improving overall health care. During the course of my career, I have had the privilege to work in several other major health sciences centers, and I believe our faculty is second to none. Our faculty and staff are committed to exceptional teaching, research and patient care. We will never lose sight of the responsibility to guide, support, and teach. Morehouse School of Medicine has graduated many medical students over the years, and we remain the leading educator of primary care physicians in the United States. Our medical school is inextricably linked to our principal teaching hospital, Grady Memorial Hospital, and several affiliates: The Atlanta VA, WellStar Atlanta Medical Center, and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
