Founded in 1782, HMS has an esteemed history and its faculty have been at the forefront of major medical discoveries and innovations.<br \/>\nHMS trains its students to become top-notch medical professionals through its unique curriculum, which focuses on collaboration, research, diversity, and practical experience. It also encourages students to take advantage of the resource-rich Harvard University\u2014students can choose from more than 200 elective courses and there are six dual-degree programs.<br \/>\nWith a total enrollment of 712 students (51% female \/ 49% male) and 9298 full-time faculty members, Harvard Medical School boasts an impressive 13.1:1 faculty-student ratio. The faculty prides itself on its dedication to students, regularly inviting students to participate in research endeavors in addition to clinical experience. The HMS faculty members joke that the quickest way to get an email response from them is to be a student.<br \/>\nCommunity and collaboration are hallmarks of Harvard Medical School. The curriculum starts with a one-week course called \u201cIntroduction to the Profession\u201d that culminates in a white coat ceremony where students recite a self-composed oath in front of family and friends. Upon matriculation, all students are placed into one of five Academic Societies, which collectively act as the advising system. This group-based system of advising is unique in that the Academic Societies are comprised of senior faculty, students from all class years, and a program coordinator. Students can count on their Academic Society not only for guidance but also for community\u2014each society leads a series of enrichment programs every year.<br \/>\n<a id=\"curriculum\"><\/a><br \/>\n<div  style='padding-bottom:10px; ' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h3    avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_heading  '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >The Curriculum at Harvard Medical School<\/h3><div class='special-heading-border'><div class='special-heading-inner-border' ><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\nThe curriculum at Harvard Medical School consists of two tracks, and students choose the one that best aligns with their interests and career goals when applying. The first, called Pathways, is most akin to the \u201ctraditional\u201d medical school track. Students in the Pathways track will study the foundational building blocks of medicine in Year 1. However, lectures are uncommon. Instead, students are taught through an interactive pedagogy that HMS calls \u201cCase-Based Learning,\u201d which employs a flipped-classroom model. The goal is for most of the content transfer to occur before class in small group study sessions held in the afternoon and evening. When students meet for class with faculty in the morning, they are tasked with integrating the content through application, critical thinking, and problem-solving in teams. Rather than studying one topic at a time through the first year, the \u201cCase-Based Learning\u201d model weaves in topics with recurrence and increasing depth throughout the first 14 months.<br \/>\nThe Pathways curriculum continues into the Primary Clinical Experience (PCE) phase, which takes up the majority of Year 2 and the beginning of Year 3. During PCE, which occurs at a single hospital site, students engage in 4-12 week rotations. Clinical experience is supplemented by faculty mentoring and conferences. After PCE is complete, students then reengage in rigorous coursework, pursue scholarly research projects, and embark on their Advanced Clinical and Science Experience. During Year 3 and Year 4, there is flexibility for students to supplement their curriculum with electives available through programs across Harvard University, giving students the agency to tailor their learning to best prepare them for whichever aspect of the medical profession they have developed an interest in.<br \/>\nThe second curricular track, Health Sciences &amp; Technology (HST), admits 30 students a year (about 18% of the class) who are committed to pursuing a physician-scientist career upon matriculation. The HST program is in partnership with the Massachusetts Institue of Technology (MIT) and integrates science, medicine, and engineering. Its mission is to \u201ccultivate leaders who will explore fundamental principles underlying disease and develop preventative, diagnostic, and therapeutic innovations,\u201d according to HMS. The HST curriculum requires students to engage in classroom learning and research for their first two years, before their Principal Clinical Experience in Year 3 and their Anchoring Clinical Experience in Y4. Pretty much from the onset, HST students are engaged in independent research under the direction of a faculty member, and students are expected to present a thesis based on their research to graduate. Most students on this track take an extra year to finish the formal curriculum (Years 1 and 2) in order to make room for their research.<br \/>\nIn addition to its two curriculum tracks for the MD, Harvard Medical School also has six dual-degree programs, some of which you can choose to pursue after matriculation.<br \/>\nHarvard-MIT MD-PhD Program: trains the next generation of physician-scientists. This program has a similar focus to that of the HST track of the main HMS curriculum, but it takes 8 years to complete, and students graduate with two degrees.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Harvard-MIT MD-PhD Program<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">trains<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the next generation of physician-scientists.
