Dr. Vivek H. Murthy

Dr. Vivek H. Murthy was sworn in as the 21st surgeon general of the United States on March 25, 2021. This is the second tenure as the "nation's doctor," Dr. Murthy served as the 19th surgeon general of the United States from December 15, 2014 to April 21, 2017. He was the nation's first Senate-confirmed Asian American surgeon general.

The surgeon general serves as a prominent spokesperson and policy advisor on public health issues. The surgeon general also oversees the U.S. Public Health Service commissioned corps, a uniformed service of about 6,000 public health workers who have, for the past year, played a key role in staffing the coronavirus response and vaccine administration effort. During his first term as surgeon general, Dr. Murthy worked on public health issues such as the opioid crisis, the promotion of physical exercise, and combating loneliness and the stigma of mental illness.

In 2020, Dr. Murthy authored the New York Times Bestselling Book, Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World. Dr. Murthy received his bachelor’s degree from Harvard and his M.D. and M.B.A. degrees from Yale. He completed his internal medicine residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and later joined Harvard Medical School as faculty in internal medicine.

SABA-DC congratulates Dr. Murthy on his historic achievement.
