For over 175 years, our collaborative approach to research and care has driven real-world solutions that improve lives. From day one, MD students engage with patients, learning to communicate and treat each person with respect and compassion.
PhD and master’s students deepen our understanding of health and disease, working alongside faculty to push the boundaries of medicine and science
We do more than teach medicine and conduct research. We live it, every day.
Since our founding, when the New England Female Medical College joined with Boston University in 1873 to become one of the first coeducational medical schools in the nation, we have kept inclusion at our core.
The first Black female physician and the first Native American physician are among our alumni. And we recruit in order to retain a heterogeneous student body. Because we believe that diversity of culture, race, gender—as well as ideas, solutions, and perspectives—is essential to excellence.
