Harvard Medical School Students

Office of Scholarly Engagement: All Harvard Medical School students are expected to complete a scholarly project. Direction is available through the Office of Scholarly Engagement. Many Global Health and Social Medicine faculty members offer mentored research opportunities that meet the scholarly project requirement. Students may also design their own projects and seek a mentor who is knowledgeable on the topic.

See examples of global health and social medicine projects on our Scholars in Medicine page. For more information about global health projects, please email Jennifer Kasper at jkasper1@bwh.harvard.edu . Dr. Kasper is chair of the Harvard Medical School Office of Scholarly Engagement Faculty Advisory Committee on Global Health.
