Overview
Nicte I. Mejia, MD MPH FAAN is Associate Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and Associate in Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital. She serves as Director of the MGH Neurology Community Health, Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives and founded the MGH Youth Neurology Education and Research Program which she continues to lead. Dr. Mejia is an Associate of the MGH Disparities Solutions Center, Faculty Director of the HMS ME518 Intensive Medical Spanish Course, and Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology. Born in Guatemala and raised primarily in Mexico, Dr. Mejia graduated medical school with honors from the Monterrey Institute of Technology. After conducting clinical research at Baylor College of Medicine, she moved to Boston to pursue further training at Harvard and its affiliated hospitals. She has since completed a Medicine internship, Neurology residency, Movement Disorders fellowship, Master degree of Public Health, and postdoctoral fellowships in Neurostatistics and Neuroepidemiology as well as in Mental Health Policy. In 2010, she was appointed to the faculty of Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital where she continues to provide clinical care, conduct health services research, supervise trainees, and engage in administrative leadership. As part of her efforts to improve access to neurology care while addressing disparities in neurology, Dr. Mejia created mechanisms for trainees to engage in these topics: the Partners Neurology Residency Program Certificate in Diversity and Inclusion for neurology residents, the MGH Neurology Community Health Diversity and Inclusion Internship for undergraduate and graduate students, and the MGH Neurology Youth Stroke Education program for high school students. Dr. Mejia has taught health professionals through invited grand rounds, CME courses, and presentations at the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting, the American Neurological Association Annual Meeting, the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society International Congress, and the Physicians for a National Health Program Annual Meeting. Her honors include the MGH Ernesto Gonzalez, HMS Harold Amos, and ANA Audrey S. Penn awards. In 2023, she was selected to the inaugural cohort of the Obama Foundation Leaders USA Program.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
