Harvard/MIT Equitable Access to Research Training (HEART) MD-PhD Summer Program
The HEART MD-PhD Summer Program is a specialty track within SHURP focused on students interested in MD-PhD training, founded by current students in Harvard's MD-PhD program.
Mission Statement:
The HEART MD-PhD Summer Program is a student-led, fully-funded initiative that aims to create equitable opportunities for accessing physician-scientist career paths, from the biomedical to the social sciences. We will connect undergraduate students from underrepresented and/or disadvantaged backgrounds -- broadly defined -- with mentorship, research experience, clinical exposure, professional development, and community. We will equip graduates of this program with the values and skills of research competence, compassion, curiosity, and leadership necessary for the MD-PhD application process, physician-scientist training, and the diversity of careers.
About Us:
The HEART MD-PhD Summer Program is a specialty track within SHURP focused on students interested in MD-PhD training. HEART Program Scholars have unique access to clinical opportunities and can conduct research in the basic or social sciences at the Harvard Medical School campus in Boston, MA. Applicants must first submit a SHURP application and indicate interest in MD-PhD training in order to receive a supplementary application for the HEART Program. All application materials, including the supplementary application, are due on February 1st, 2023. We highly recommend applying early in order to have enough time to complete the supplementary application.
