"The best parts of being a student at HMS are the diverse student body and the non-competitive atmosphere. The combination allows you to learn medicine in an exciting and non-intimidating environment."
-- Bradley Carthon, M.D./Ph.D. Candidate
"In coming to HMS, I know I made the right choice for my medical education. I can think of no other medical school like Harvard. There is nothing you can't do here - clinically and academically. And at the same time, even with so much going on, I feel supported in a diverse, caring, and nurturing community. Who knew med students could be so happy?!"
-- Alejandra Casillas, HMS 2005
"HMS provides an amazing look into real life. It asks you to step up your game, while constantly bombarding you from all angles with medical innovation, novel scientific thought and critical social and ethical concerns that rarely see the light of day. Thankfully, HMS also provides a tremendously supportive environment to those for whom real life still remains fiction."
--Ricky Darnell Grisson II , HMS 2005
"Harvard Medical School is quite frankly the best place in the world to study medicine. Resources are unparalleled, the professors are highly dedicated, and the students are some of the smartest people I've ever met. To add icing to the cake, the whole learning experience here is actually fun and enjoyable."
--Guibenson Hyppolite , HMS 2006
"One of the greatest assets of HMS is its diverse student body. We not only form close friendships but learn from each other as both teacher and student."
--Alexander Iribarne, HMS 2005
"My experience at HMS has exceeded my expectations in every way. The students here are an extraordinary and diverse group, and the faculty is supportive, accessible and simply outstanding."
--Brandon Lee, HMS 2006
"I am delighted to be in HMS and particularly in HST...this program merits its reputation as the Navy Seal training of Harvard Medical School. I recommend it highly, as it fully prepares students for a world where the line between research and medicine is no longer so clear."
--Carlos Ponce, HMS/HST 2005
"I love being at HMS because of the incredible diversity of the student body. Many students have done very impressive things. It is a nurturing atmosphere for learning and due to the pass/fail system, students focus more on learning concepts and help one another while working together as a team. It is definitely a place to develop the skills needed to become a great physician!"
--Jane Unaeze, HMS 2005
