From Campus to Vatican: Dr. Norman Beauchamp Pursues His Mission

In September 2024, just two months into his tenure as Georgetown’s executive vice president of health sciences and executive dean of the School of Medicine, Norman J. Beauchamp Jr., MD, MHS, met Pope Francis during a visit to the Vatican to discuss Georgetown’s involvement with the Pope’s Global Alliance for the Health and Humanitarian Care of Children. That initiative, which will tap the expertise of Georgetown’s Global Health Institute, exemplifies Beauchamp’s mission to bring hope and health to all, at home and worldwide.
