Health Policy
Our residents also have access to many opportunities available in the broader Harvard and MIT communities. Residents have participated in activities at the Harvard Medical School, Business School, School of Public Health, and Kennedy School of Government, among others. Through Harvard Business School, residents have the opportunity to work closely with leading healthcare economists and strategists, take seminars on management and entrepeneurship at the Harvard Innovation Lab, and participate in programs such as the annual housestaff-only Value-Based Healthcare Delivery course, which is lead by HBS and Partners Healthcare leadership. The close connection between Harvard and MIT allows residents to collaborate with MIT faculty and students through events such as “Hacking Global Health,” where programers and health professionals came together for a weekend focused on developing IT based solutions to looming global health issues.
Global Health
MGH Med-Peds residents have ample opportunities to do away rotations in international sites, and to work with global health mentors. Each resident is guaranteed funding for one away rotation, with the option of applying for grants and other funding sources for additional rotations. See our Global Health page for further information.
Partners Centers of Expertise
Partners Graduate Medical Education has established four Centers for Expertise (Health Policy, Academic Healthcare Management, Medical Education, Global and Humanitarian Health, Quality and Safety, and Research). Each “Center” has monthly evening lectures, offers access to leaders in each field within the Harvard system and beyond, and offers funding for research and travel to conferences in that field.
