Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology

Founded more than 35 years ago, the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST) is one of the oldest and largest biomedical engineering and physician-scientist training programs in the United States and the longest-standing collaboration between Harvard and MIT.

HST's unique interdisciplinary educational program brings engineering as well as the physical and biological sciences from the scientist's bench to the patient's bedside. Conversely, it brings clinical insight from the patient's bedside to the laboratory bench. In this way, HST students are trained to have deep understanding of engineering, physical sciences, and the biological sciences, complemented with hands-on experience in the clinic or in industry; and they become conversant with the underlying quantitative and molecular aspects of medicine and biomedical science. Within the division, more than 400 graduate students work with eminent faculty and affiliated faculty members from throughout the MIT and Harvard communities.

In addition to its outstanding record of accomplishment for research in human health care, HST educational programs are distinguished by three key elements:

  • A strong quantitative orientation
  • Required hands-on experience in a clinical or industry setting
  • A focused interdisciplinary research project

HST offers eight multidisciplinary options for graduate study:

  1. Biomedical Enterprise Master's Program
  2. Master of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering
  3. Medical Sciences MD Program
  4. Medical Engineering and Medical Physics Doctoral Program
  5. Speech and Hearing Bioscience and Technology Doctoral Program
  6. Biomedical Informatics Training Program
  7. Clinical Investigator Training Program
  8. Graduate Education in Medical Sciences Certificate Program

Master's Programs

Biomedical Enterprise Program

Launched in 2002 as a collaboration with the MIT Sloan School of Management, HST's Biomedical Enterprise Program (BEP) is designed for individuals with business experience and a strong foundation in science and engineering. BEP prepares students for leadership roles in the transfer of new technologies from concept through product development to clinical adoption in the context of existing companies or newly established ventures.

Acknowledging that medical innovations in laboratory research and clinical care benefit society only when they become commercial products and services, BEP offers a unique curriculum that leverages the strengths of HST, MIT Sloan, Harvard Medical School (HMS), and the affiliated hospitals. BEP students take preclinical and engineering courses alongside HST's MD and PhD students, and business courses with other MIT Sloan students. They participate in unique integrative courses designed to address the specific needs of starting, growing, and managing a biomedical enterprise. These courses were developed and are taught by a team of HST and Sloan faculty, including several local entrepreneurs. Also included in the curriculum is a hands-on hospital-based clinical experience that pairs students with physician-scientists and provides insight into the hospital environment and patient care.

BEP offers two dual-degree options for individuals who need training in both management and science, and a one-year degree option for business executives who already have a graduate degree in management. The dual-degree option leads to an MBA or SM degree from MIT Sloan and an SM degree from HST. The single-degree option leads to the SM degree from HST. Further information is available at http://bep.mit.edu/ or by contacting bep@mit.edu.

Master of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering

The Master of Engineering (MEng) in Biomedical Engineering aims to educate students at the interface between engineering and biology or medicine, preparing them for leadership positions in the medical products, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries. The five-year program leads to a bachelor's degree in a science or engineering discipline and a Master of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering. The program emphasizes engineering applications in systems physiology and clinical medicine; it is of particular value to students interested in applying biomedical engineering to the basic understanding of disease processes in the post-genomic era, and is designed for individuals desiring a medical and clinical focus in their careers.

Students take subjects that enable them to apply engineering expertise to problems in the medical and clinical sciences. Admission to HST's MEng program is open only to current MIT undergraduate students and requires candidates to demonstrate adequate quantitative and engineering credentials through coursework as part of their undergraduate degree program. Students interested in applying should submit a standard MIT graduate application by the end of their junior year.

In addition to satisfying the undergraduate requirements of their departmental program, candidates also are expected to complete subjects in differential equations (18.03); organic chemistry (5.12); biochemistry (7.05 or 5.07); and one engineering transport or systems subject (e.g., 2.005, 3.185, 6.002, 10.310).

More detailed program objectives and the requirements can be found on the HST website, http://hst.mit.edu/.

Master of Health Sciences and Technology

HST offers a general master's degree program that can be coupled to other HST degree programs, such as the MD degree described below. To accommodate a wide range of student interests, the curriculum for the Master of Health Sciences and Technology degree is determined by agreement between the student and his or her advisor, and approval by HST's Graduate Committee. There are no specific requirements other than the Institute requirement for 66 subject units and a thesis. In each case, the Institute requirement for the master's degree must be satisfied. Further information can be obtained from HST's Academic Office, Room E25-518, 617-258-7084.

Doctoral Programs

Medical Sciences

HST's Medical Sciences Program leads to the MD degree from Harvard Medical School. It is oriented toward students with a strong interest and background in quantitative science, especially in the biological, physical, engineering, and chemical sciences. The subjects in human biology developed for this curriculum represent the joint efforts of life scientists, physicians, physical scientists, and engineers from the faculties of Harvard and MIT.

The programs of study are designed to meet the interests and needs of the individual student. The student is encouraged to pursue advanced study in areas of interest that may complement the subjects offered in the division. Such study may be undertaken as part of the MD degree requirements or may be pursued in a program that combines the MD with a master's or doctoral degree. HST students join the students of the regular Harvard Medical School curriculum in the clinical clerkships.

Because HST is committed to educating physicians who have a deep understanding of the scientific basis of medicine and who are well equipped for an interdisciplinary research career, HST encourages students in the MD curriculum to devote time to research and requires a thesis for completion of the degree. Many MD students desire even more research training than is possible during the standard four-year MD curriculum. For such students, one option is to pursue a formal PhD program in addition to an MD program. Another option expands the MD program to five or more years in order to include a major research training component. This option may lead to a master's degree in health sciences and technology in addition to the MD degree.

The general requirements for a master's degree at MIT are given under Graduate Education in Part 1. The subject requirements must be in addition to the minimum number of units required for the MD degree. Subjects may be chosen in scientific, technical, or clinical areas relevant to the student's research area. Thesis research may be conducted at MIT, Harvard, or at Harvard-affiliated teaching hospitals. The completed thesis must be approved by the thesis supervisor and submitted to HST's Graduate Committee. The master's thesis simultaneously fulfills the thesis requirement for HST's MD degree. The two degrees are not formally linked; the MD degree is not a prerequisite for the master's degree.

Further details on the Medical Sciences Program and application forms may be obtained from the Office of Admissions, Harvard Medical School, 25 Shattuck Street, Boston, MA 02115. Applications must be submitted by October 15 of the year before desired matriculation. For further information, candidates can contact HST's medical sciences admissions coordinator at hst-md-admissions@mit.edu.

Medical Engineering and Medical Physics

The Medical Engineering and Medical Physics (MEMP) Program is a five-to-seven–year program that leads to the PhD in Medical Engineering and Medical Physics awarded by MIT or by the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences. The program trains students as engineers or physical scientists who also have extensive knowledge of the medical sciences. By understanding engineering and physical science applications, as well as their clinical implications, graduates of this program are well positioned to define new questions and formulate novel approaches in biomedical research.

The MEMP program is founded on a philosophy of openness and collaboration, characteristics that encourage innovative and independent thinking and creativity. This philosophy is fostered by the unique environment in which MEMP students study. While each MEMP student has depth in one classical discipline of engineering or physical science, the collective community has students in all disciplines. MEMP students also have peers with diverse career paths in medicine, science, engineering, business, and government. This community promotes an open exchange of ideas and exposes students to different perspectives on the health sciences. Moreover, MEMP students have access to research opportunities in labs at Harvard, MIT, and the Harvard teaching hospitals. Students can do research with faculty at any of these institutions and have many opportunities through classes, events, and projects to interact with faculty from all of these institutions.

The program's academic curriculum includes three phases that prepare students to be medical innovators who will advance human health. First, HST provides MEMP students with a thorough graduate education in a classical discipline of engineering or physical science. Each student selects a concentration area, such as mechanical engineering, chemistry and chemical engineering, materials science, electrical engineering, computer science, physics, aeronautics and astronautics, or nuclear engineering, and completes substantial coursework in this discipline.

Students then become conversant in the biological sciences through preclinical coursework followed by a series of clinical experiences. They acquire a hands-on understanding of clinical care, medical decision making, and the role of technology in medical practice both in the classroom and in patient care. Because the interface of technology and clinical medicine represents a continuum that extends from the molecular to the whole-organism levels, MEMP offers two distinct but related curricular sequences in the biomedical sciences: the cellular and molecular medicine sequence and the systems physiology and medicine sequence.

Finally, MEMP students investigate important problems at the interfaces of science, technology, and clinical medicine through individualized research projects that prepare them to undertake independent research. MEMP students have the opportunity to perform thesis research in laboratories at MIT, Harvard, and the Harvard affiliated teaching hospitals.

Bioinformatics and integrative genomics (BIG), neuroimaging and bioastronautics are areas of specialization within MEMP for which HST offers specially designed training programs. MEMP candidates may choose to apply through MIT, Harvard, or both. Those applying to MEMP through MIT should submit a single application. Those applying to MEMP through Harvard must also apply to the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences or the Biophysics Program. Additional information about applying to MEMP is available at http://hst.mit.edu/public/admissions/.

 

Speech and Hearing Bioscience and Technology

HST's doctoral program in Speech and Hearing Bioscience and Technology (SHBT), formerly Speech and Hearing Sciences, prepares students with an undergraduate background in science or engineering to have a broad acquaintance with the field of speech and hearing, and to develop specialized knowledge that focuses on a particular approach in research. The only program of its type in the country—and the only doctoral training program funded in this area by the National Institutes of Health—SHBT is designed to develop research scientists who can apply the concepts and methods of the physical and biological sciences to basic and clinical problems in speech and hearing using innovative research. No other research training program provides the multidisciplinary depth and breadth offered by SHBT. The five-to-seven–year program leads to a PhD in speech and hearing bioscience and technology from MIT. SHBT's more than 50 participating faculty members represent 10 academic departments from Harvard and MIT, with research facilities at MIT, Harvard University, Harvard Medical School and affiliated teaching hospitals, and the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary (MEEI). The small class size of this unique program (seven to eight students per class year) ensures personalized and high-quality training by a diverse and dedicated faculty from the two institutions.

SHBT's curriculum provides an effective method of training researchers by introducing the physical and biological bases of speech and hearing mechanisms involved in the communications process. While SHBT seeks to develop research scientists rather than clinical practitioners, there is a strong emphasis on providing students with exposure to clinical problems, approaches, and techniques. Graduates are thoroughly prepared for successful careers in basic and applied research in industry, universities, or government laboratories involved with biological and synthetic communication systems.

Typically, a student's first two years in the program are devoted to coursework, which is supplemented by significant exposure to various research projects. Courses in the first year assume familiarity with calculus and differential equations, college-level physics, probability and statistics, and biology. The core curriculum covers the anatomical, acoustical, physiological, perceptual, and cognitive basics, as well as the clinical approaches to speech and hearing problems. The early introduction of important concepts in acoustics, anatomy, and physiology provides a solid base from which to pursue individual research interests. Early in the curriculum, students are introduced to various research laboratories that use different approaches to solving speech and hearing problems. This involvement in research provides an immediate application of classroom subjects. Students work with research advisors to develop a thorough understanding of basic concepts and tools in their fields of concentration. Later, students participate in subjects that require them to apply basic concepts to clinical problems and scientific research. Throughout the curriculum, special attention is devoted to developing personal integrity, scientific values, and scholarly practice. With faculty guidance, each student plans a concentration tailored to the student's particular interest.

By the end of their second year, students identify an area of professional interest and choose a research project that forms the basis for their doctoral thesis. SHBT research in the speech and hearing sciences focuses on the biological and physical mechanisms underlying human communication by spoken language. The processes addressed by these sciences include the physical acoustics of sound and the perceptual neurophysiological bases of hearing, as well as the linguistic, cognitive, and motor levels of processing by talkers and listeners.

Applicants to the program should have a bachelor's degree in physical science, biology, psychology, linguistics, communication sciences and disorders, engineering, computer science, or a related field. Superior analytical skills are strongly recommended for all applicants. Additional information may be obtained at http://web.mit.edu/shbt/ or by contacting Dr. M. Christian Brown, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, 243 Charles Street, Boston, MA 02114, 617-573-9635, mcb@epl.meei.harvard.edu.

Training Programs

In addition to the specialized training programs designed as tracks within the Medical Engineering Medical Physics Doctoral Program, described above, HST offers three training programs in specific areas.

Biomedical Informatics Program

Biomedical informatics is concerned with the cognitive, information-processing, and communication tasks of medical practice, education, and research. It includes the information sciences and technology needed to support those tasks. The field is intrinsically interdisciplinary, drawing together all traditional medical disciplines, the science and technology of computing, biostatistics, epidemiology, decision sciences, and health care policy and management. In addition to a focus on clinical practice, additional areas of emphasis are in bioinformatics, and in informatics related to health services research.

HST's predoctoral and postdoctoral training program in biomedical informatics offers fellowships to qualified US citizens or permanent residents. Several training options are offered: the Master of Science in Biomedical Informatics from HST; the PhD in Computer Science from MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science; the PhD in Health Decision Science in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Harvard School of Public Health; and research fellowship training at biomedical informatics laboratories in Boston-area hospitals carried out in conjunction with the HST Biomedical Informatics Master's Program. The master's program is available only to individuals who already have advanced training in the health sciences (e.g., a doctoral degree in medicine, dentistry, nursing, veterinary medicine, clinical psychology, or a PhD in a medical relevant field such as physiology).

The combined training program offers several opportunities for education, research, and interaction among the various training sites. Course offerings at MIT and Harvard, as well as a variety of seminars, journal clubs, and other opportunities to exchange information, provide all trainees with opportunities to learn about the work at various laboratories and affiliated institutions, as well as the broader field of biomedical and health informatics.

Predoctoral fellowship applicants must concurrently apply for admission to MIT or a Harvard doctoral degree program. For more information about the Biomedical Informatics Training Program, visit http://www.mi-boston.org/Boston-Informatics/index.html or contact Dr. Lucila Ohno-Machado, Decision Systems Group, Brigham and Women's Hospital, 75 Francis Street, Boston, MA 02115, machado@dsg.harvard.edu.

Clinical Investigator Training Program

The Clinical Investigator Training Program (CITP) trains postdoctoral physicians from various clinical disciplines in the techniques and processes used in patient-oriented research. Trainees develop expertise in clinical investigation while participating in an extensive educational program. The two-year program is a cooperative effort between HST, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and Pfizer, Inc. The curriculum allows trainees to develop direct experience in performing clinical investigation while, simultaneously through didactic coursework, providing a strong foundation in computational and statistical sciences, biomedical ethics, the principles of clinical pharmacology, in vitro and in vivo measurement techniques, and various aspects of the drug development process. The fellowship program consists of a primary project and core curriculum, plus an elective curriculum and a project elective. Although not required, fellows may choose to pursue a Master of Medical Sciences degree from Harvard Medical School in conjunction with CITP. The degree is awarded at the end of the two-year period upon successful completion of didactic coursework, a research project, a thesis or thesis equivalent, and a qualifying examination. CITP is open to physicians who have completed the clinical requirements for Board eligibility in their chosen specialty or subspecialty. For more information or to obtain an application, visit http://www.bidmc.harvard.edu/citp/ or contact the CITP administrative manager, Linda Bard, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, 330 Brookline Ave, GZ 811, Boston, MA 02215, lbard@bidmc.harvard.edu.

Graduate Education in Medical Sciences Certificate Program

The MIT Graduate Education in Medical Sciences (GEMS) Training Program is a part-time certificate program that can be taken concurrently with doctoral studies and research by students in the Schools of Engineering and Science to gain exposure to biomedical and clinical sciences, including translational medicine. This educational experience for PhD graduate students in the sciences and engineering fields addresses a national need articulated by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute: the growing gap between advances in basic biology and the translation of those advances into medically relevant therapies and tools for the improvement of human health.

The GEMS training program aims to integrate medical knowledge into graduate education at MIT by training a select group of PhD students to bridge the widening chasm between concept and functional execution with a supplementary curriculum that entails: (1) a human pathology course, including molecular and cellular mechanisms of disease, (2) a medical pathophysiology course, a kaleidoscope of HST's pathophysiology curriculum, (3) a student-individualized clinical experience, working with experienced mentors who move seamlessly between clinical medicine and basic biological research, (4) a seminar showcasing examples of translation, and (5) HST's Graduate Seminar—attended by all HST PhD candidates—focusing on professional skills needed to succeed in interdisciplinary research (ethics, responsible conduct of research, communication, etc.). GEMS participants will gain an understanding of the elements of translation, appreciate the science and art of medicine in a way that cannot be conveyed by textbooks, and develop relationships with students and faculty in the broad biomedical community.
