HMS Department of Social Medicine

The HMS Social Medicine and Health Policy split ("for political reasons") into two HMS policy departments: HMS Department of Social Medicine and HMS Department of Health Policy. When Jim Yong Kim arrived, he brought a "revolutionary" "global health" emphasis and priority, started the "Four Pillars" idea, and changed the name of HMS Department of Social Medicine into the HMS Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, pairing the the HSPH Department of Global Health and Population (formerly the HSPH Department of Population and International Health) and clearning the ambiguity of an HSPH Department with the same initials as Partners In Health, which had been started by his longtime good friend, Paul Farmer of HMS. Grace Wyshak was a Faculty member in the pre-divided HMS Department. Her leaving is a matter for serious institutional research, but she 'migrated' to HSPH Department of Population and International Health, which later became the HSPH Department of Global Health and Population.
