Dr. Veronica Thierry Mallett, M.D., MMM, is a women's health physician in the United States known for her work in urogynecology, specifically with respect to genital organ prolapse and urinary incontinence, and for her efforts in reducing health disparities.[1]
She has authored or co-authored more than 30 articles, as well as two chapters of the fourth edition of Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine: a comprehensive study guide on obstetrics and gynecology.[2]
Currently she serves as senior VP and chief administrative officer of the More in Common Alliance (MICA), a collaboration between CommonSpirit Health and Morehouse School of Medicine, and on the board of directors of Sharecare.[3]
Early life
[edit]Veronica Mallett was born to Dr. Conrad L. Mallett, Sr., Ed.D[4] and Dr. Claudia Gwendolyn Jones Mallett, Ed.D[5] in Detroit, Michigan, the youngest of three children.[6]
Post-secondary education
[edit]Dr. Mallett graduated from Barnard College at Columbia University in 1979 with a pre-med degree.[7] While at Barnard, Mallett served as the president of the Barnard Organization of Black Women.[8]
She returned to her home state of Michigan, enrolling in Michigan State University's College of Human Medicine. She graduated from the College of Human Medicine in 1983 and went on to complete a residency at Wayne State University School of Medicine,[8] in conjunction with Detroit Medical Center. She finished the program in 1987,[7] then took a position at Northwestern University in Chicago. While at Northwestern, she began to focus on urogynecology.[8]
She also obtained a Master's degree in Medical Management from Carnegie Mellon.[9][10]
Career
[edit]Early career
[edit]She returned to Wayne State in 1991, accepting a fellowship that ended in 1993. She stayed on at the University as an assistant professor, and in 1994 became director of Hutzel Women's Hospital's Women's Continence and Pelvic Surgery Center. In 1999, Mallett was promoted to residency program director, and in 2000, she became an associate professor at Wayne State.[8]
A 2001 listing of medical professionals in Black Enterprise stated Mallett offered a procedure known as the Tension-Free Vaginal Sling that aided female patients suffering from incontinence. It was an outpatient procedure offered at Oakwood Hospital and Medical Center in Dearborn, MI.[11] She continued to be employed with Oakwood at the beginning of 2005.[12]
Dr. Mallett moved to Tennessee in 2005, taking the position as first female chair of a clinical department at the University of Tennessee[8] where she served as the medical director of healthcare excellence.[13]
Dr. Mallett established the position of chair of obstetrics and gynecology at Texas Tech's Paul L. Foster School of Medicine in El Paso in 2011,[8] making her the Founding Chair.[10][14] She helped launch the OB/GYN school at the university.[13] She helped establish a medical school and health science center to address the physician shortage in El Paso. It is located on the U.S. border between Texas and Mexico.[9]
Meharry Medical College
[edit]Mallet returned to Tennessee on March 1, 2017[15] to serve as the Dean at Meharry Medical College,[1] replacing Dr. Marquetta L. Faulkner.[9] Mallett intended to turn Meharry into an example of "innovation and excellence in providing high-quality, cost-efficient, safe, patient-centered care in an urban safety net teaching environment." One area on which she focused was telemedicine, recognizing the growing trend and a need to address how to handle virtual treatment in the curriculum.[15]
During her tenure as senior vice president of health affairs and Dean of Meharry, Nashville General Hospital began taking in fewer patients due to longstanding financial issues. Third and fourth year students at Meharry doing their hospital rotations traditionally completed at least some at Nashville General, but with fewer patients, the arrangement was no longer viable. Working with President James Hildreth and HCA Healthcare, a new agreement to allow Meharry students to complete the necessary rotations at TriStar Southern Hills in Nashville was reached.[16]
Dr. Mallett also worked with the Detroit Medical Center to establish a cooperative partnership that allowed Meharry students to study and train at the Detroit facilities.[17][18] Sinai-Grace Hospital had already accepted Meharry students in July 2018, alongside residency students from both Michigan State and Wayne State universities.[17]
She also worked with MTSU and the state of Tennessee to finalize a deal that would allow six college freshmen to fast-track their medical degree education with state-subsidized tuition in exchange for staying in Tennessee to practice medicine for at least two years. Negotiations began in 2017 shortly after she accepted the position of Dean, and were finalized in 2019.[19]
Mallett also served as the executive director of the Center for Women's Health Research.[14][20]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mallett joined with Nashville's emergency management team and helped conduct in-person testing at Meharry and at Nissan Stadium.[21]
In 2021, Meharry launched Meharry Medical College Ventures, naming Dr. Mallett as the president and CEO.[13][22] She was succeeded in the position of CEO by Reginald Holt,[23] who took over in April 2023.[24]
The More in Common Alliance
[edit]Mallett joined the staff of the More in Common Alliance, a ten-year initiative begun in December 2020, as its chief administrative officer in May 2022. The Alliance is a joint venture between CommonSpirit Health, a Catholic-oriented U.S. hospital chain, and Morehouse School of Medicine, a medical school in Atlanta, GA.[25]
Part of Mallett's role includes raising funds to match CommonSpirit's financial commitment. The goal of the program is, essentially, to help patients and doctors build trust by ensuring patients are not only able to verbally communicate with their physicians but also to relate to them culturally or ethnically.[26]
Memberships and recognition
[edit]Dr. Mallett is a member of The Links, Inc.,[14] and an alumna of Drexel University's Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine program (2007).[27]
She joined the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists in December 2011.[28]
In 2020 she was recognized by the Nashville Business Journal as a "woman of influence".[29]
She received the Nashville 2022 ATHENA Traditional award,[30] an acknowledgement of leadership skills recognized in eleven nations.[31]
Board certifications
[edit]Dr. Mallett is certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology in both obstetric and gynecologic medicine and in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery.[7]
Publications
[edit]Throughout her career, Dr. Mallett has authored or co-authored numerous works in the field of urogynecology and gynecology, as well as on medical equity.
