Zuckerman Fellow, Center for Public Leadership, Harvard Kennedy School
MPH Student, Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health.

Neil Singh Bedi, who recently completed his third year of medical school at  Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, has been awarded a Zuckerman Fellowship through the Center for Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School.

Zuckerman Fellows are selected on the basis of outstanding leadership ability with potential for significant impact to advance the public good, commitment to public service, intellectual distinction and academic achievement.

The Zuckerman Fellows Program equips people from the fields of medicine, law and business to provide leadership for the common good by making it possible for them to pursue public service degrees at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, or Harvard Kennedy School.

As a medical student, Bedi has led research and advocacy efforts in climate and health, health equity and human rights. As a Zuckerman Fellow this year, he is pursuing a master of public health (MPH) at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health while engaging in a co-curricular program at the Kennedy School. His MPH concentration is in quantitative methods with an interdisciplinary concentration in planetary health and climate change.

Bedi, a California native, is a 2022 BU graduate in medical sciences, with a double minor in public health and psychology. His research and advocacy endeavors lie at the intersection of public health and clinical care. Upon graduation, and the completion of his final year of medical school, he plans to pursue residency training in internal medicine, followed by a fellowship in critical care. He eventually aims to serve both as an intensive care physician and leader in public health.
