“A Doctor of Medicine from Albany Medical College who served as chief resident and equity officer at Montefiore Department of Family and Social Medicine, Dr. Okolo was motivated to achieve a master’s degree in public health after he observed in practical experience the need to forge better care and solutions for loneliness among geriatric patients. As a Michael Meng fellow, he will hone his proven skills as a scholar and leader towards this deeply-held goal. His accomplishments bode well for this pursuit: a bachelor of science in biomedical science, cum laude, from the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education at The City College of New York, where he earned the CUNY Distinction in Leadership Award and was president of the student government and the school’s Family Medicine Interest Group. He was a Harvard Macy fellow, a Colin Powell Leadership fellow, a Rudin Research fellow, and received the Montefiore Department of Family and Social Medicine AAFP Excellence in Education Award and the Daniel C. Lecht Award for Excellence in Social Medicine.”
