Learn More About What It Is Like to Be a Student

Students begin their clinical work during the first week of the first year by using the interviewing and physical diagnosis skills learned in the classroom to work with patients at Boston Medical Center and Boston’s largest network of community health centers. In the clerkship phase of the curriculum, students complete some of their rotations at Boston Medical Center and some at our dozens of clinical affiliates; including other academic medical centers, community hospitals, community health centers, and the VA.
