Introduction
The Visiting Students Program at Harvard Medical School (HMS) offers eligible medical students the opportunity to complete a visiting clerkship at one of the Harvard-affiliated hospitals.
The HMS Visiting Students Program is one of the largest visiting student programs in the country. The program is for medical students in their final year of medical school who wish to participate in clinical clerkships offered at HMS-affiliated teaching hospitals. Our goal is to place eligible students who are qualified for advanced clinical experiences in HMS-affiliated hospitals based on placement availability.
HMS does not offer research opportunities and/or observerships for visiting students.
