He holds several academic positions at Massachusetts General Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and within the Office of Diversity Inclusion and Community Partnership at Harvard Medical School. In addition, Dr. Landry is the founder of Hip Hop Health, Inc., a non-profit promoting health education of the “hip hop” generation. He is also passionate about raising awareness of the increasing ethnic disconnect between those providing health care and those receiving it. Dr. Landry received his BS from Prairie View A&M University, MD from the University of Alabama and completed his residency in Emergency Medicine at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He earned an MPH from the Harvard School of Public Health, has completed the Commonwealth Fund/Harvard University Fellowship in Minority Health Policy in 2010, and has earned a number of awards, including the Disparities Solutions Center/Aetna Fellow in Health Disparities award in 2010.
