Service Learning

 

The Department of Social Medicine engages Harvard medical, graduate and undergraduate students in a wide variety of community-based activities through the following programs:

PIDSC
In recent years over 100 medical, graduate and undergraduate students have participated in ongoing projects through the Program in Infectious Disease and Social Change affiliates Partners In Health.

Student participation and education continues to center on hands-on experience in providing care to underserved communities at home and around the world. Students work under the direction of Department faculty, Dr. Jim Kim, Dr. Paul Farmer, Dr. Arachu Castro, Dr. Mary Kay Fawzi-Smith, and Dr Joia Mukherjee.


Independent Projects in International Health
INDEPENDENT PROJECTS IN INTERNATIONAL HEALTH
Since 1984, hundreds of students carrying out international health projects have received mentoring from DSM faculty, including Professors Arthur Kleinman, Byron Good, and Mary-Jo Good, among others. Many student projects that take place internationally are made possible through the Paul Dudley White Fellowships and other sponsorship programs offered through the HMS/HSDM Office of Enrichment Programs. To reach the Office of Enrichment Programs, call 617-432-2750 or visit them at Suite 307, Gordon Hall.

The Office of Enrichment Programs provides fellowships and sponsorships to support students with many of these projects. Students currently enrolled at HMS should log into eCommons and visit the OEP homepage. Here you'll find detailed information about OEP-sponsored programs and other fellowship opportunities, as well as funding application forms, instructions, and deadlines.
