Early life and education

Singh was raised in Kenya and earned a BA and BS in Biology from the University of Rochester, where he graduated magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa and earned a Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship. [3]

He went on to pursue a combined MD/PhD at Weill Cornell Medical College Rockefeller University, with a Post-Doctoral fellowship in Sustainable Development at Columbia University, supported by a Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship, NIH Medical Scientist Training Program Fellowship. He completed his clinical training in Internal Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan, Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, and the James J. Peters VA Medical Center in the Bronx. As he was completing his clinical training, he was recognized as a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation 40th Anniversary Young Leader [4] for his work on adapting global insights into health system design to domestic contexts. [5] He gave a TEDx talk on the topic in 2010, [6] and at Mayo Transform in 2014. [7]

Career

Singh was an assistant professor of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University and Director of Systems Design at The Earth Institute. [8] In 2013, he co-founded the One Million Community Health Worker Campaign [9] with Jeffrey Sachs, which is an initiative of the African Union and UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network. [10]

Singh was named as Director of the Arnhold Institute and Chair of the Department of Health System Design & Global Health at Mount Sinai Health Systems in 2016. [11] The Arnhold Institute was supported with a gift of $27.5 million, and in 2016, his Arnhold Institute team, in partnership with the UN Special Envoy for Health In Agenda 2030 and partners, launched Atlas, which leverages satellite technologies to create a new generation of spatial information systems that push intelligence to frontline health care workers in information poor regions. This software has yet to be deployed or used by any frontline health care workers.[ citation needed ]

Domestically, in his role as Vice Chairman of Medicine for Population Health, [12] Dr. Singh supported the development of a primary care practice transformation team in partnership with health system leaders.[ citation needed ]

In 2011, Singh and his wife, Manmeet Kaur, [13] founded City Health Works, [14] a program to build a financially sustainable and scalable platform for health coaches to improve the outcomes and decrease the costs of care for high need patients. [15]

[21] Singh stepped down from his positions as Chairman of the Arnhold Institute for Global Health and chairman of the department of health system design and global health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in 2019 [22] after he was named in a lawsuit claiming age and sex discrimination at the Institute. [23] The suit alleged Singh was hostile toward the staff of mostly older women. [24] He remains on the faculty. [22] In 2022, he was named as a defendant in a related lawsuit alleging discriminating behavior on the part of the leadership of the Arnhold Institute for Global Health. [25]

His work has been featured in The Lancet, [29] The New England Journal of Medicine, [30] Brookings Institution Economic Studies, [31] and Health Affairs, [5] and covered by media outlets such as NPR [32] and the New York Times. [33]

Social advocacy

Singh has written about extensively on the scientific link between healthcare and housing [34] as well as issues related to hate crimes, [35] building more resilient communities, [36] [37] and equal opportunity to work. [38] He was attacked in a 2013 hate crime that received extensive local, [39] [40] national [41] [42] [43] and international [44] [45] press, both for the attack itself as well as his response. [46] The LA Times, [47] Christian Science Monitor, [48] The Guardian [49] and Al Jazeera [50] have cited him on Sikhs in America. In 2014, Columbia University Magazine wrote a feature story [13] about Prabhjot Singh and Manmeet Kaur's relationship, work in healthcare, and social activism. He serves on the Board of Directors for the Auburn Seminary [51] and Kaur Life. [52]

Community health refers to non-treatment based health services that are delivered outside hospitals and clinics.

Health equity arises from access to the social determinants of health, specifically from wealth, power and prestige. Individuals who have consistently been deprived of these three determinants are significantly disadvantaged from health inequities, and face worse health outcomes than those who are able to access certain resources. It is not equity to simply provide every individual with the same resources; that would be equality. In order to achieve health equity, resources must be allocated based on an individual need-based principle.
