The HEART Program is a fully funded summer program for undergraduate students interested in MD-PhD training to become physician-scientists. Our program offers 10 weeks of full-time research, clinical shadowing, and professional development workshops including sessions on the MCAT, personal statement, and MD-PhD program interviews. HEART Scholars are housed near the Harvard Medical School campus in Boston, MA, and receive a competitive stipend.
We are now accepting applications for the 2025 summer program, and the application deadline is February 3rd, 2025. Students from background underrepresented in science and medicine are especially encouraged to apply.
