Innovating

Harvard graduates invented the iron lung, cultivated the polio virus that led to vaccines, introduced insulin to the United States, mapped the visual system of the brain, created the external cardiac pacemaker, developed artificial skin, conducted the first successful kidney transplant, and much more. To be a Harvard medical student is to be inspired by a history of innovative achievements unlike any other. You will graduate equipped to help design innovative solutions to the complex challenges of modern medicine by making a significant contribution in pioneering new cures, methods of medical treatment, clinical strategies, and technologies.
