While the majority of Harvard students and alumni pursuing careers in the health field focus on human medicine (allopathic or osteopathic medicine), a number of others will pursue careers in other health fields such as public and global health, dental medicine, veterinary medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, optometry, and pharmacy. Being a doctor means you have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others, whether it is diagnosing and successfully treating a child with diabetes or conducting research on platelet activation or providing care to a terminally ill patient. The field of medicine changes rapidly, so physicians have to be lifelong learners and enjoy the intellectual challenge of science. The rewards of caring for others, contributing to research, and having flexible career options make this a very popular career choice for Harvard students. However, the path to becoming a doctor is long and rigorous, involving specific and demanding premedical course requirements, a long medical school application process, four years of basic science and clinical experiences in medical school, three to seven years of clinical training in residency (and often additional years as a fellow for certain subspecialties), and several licensing exams.

  • 2019-2020 Information for Faculty
    6/16/2020 Information for Faculty Information for Faculty To The Faculty Information for Faculty Offering Instruction in Arts and Sciences is intended to serve as a convenient reference for the educational policies of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS). In addition to a discussion of instructors’ responsibilities, matters related to course administration, and problems often encountered by students, this publication includes a summary of teaching resources available to instructors and a detailed academic calendar. All members of the FAS are urged to consult this publication as issues arise in the administration of their courses and in their work with students. New members of the FAS will, it is hoped, take time to acquaint themselves with all aspects of this publication and especially with the various policies and regulations that are particular to Harvard. Avoiding misunderstandings before the fact can save valuable time and spare unnecessary embarrassment. For example, it is important to understand that while graduate students may receive a grade of Incomplete, undergraduates cannot. In the matter of an extension of time, instructors may offer undergraduates an extension of time to complete course work until the end of the Examination Period; however, only with the express permission of the Administrative Board of Harvard College may instructors accept undergraduate work after the end of the Examination Period. Final and approved makeup examinations are scheduled by the staff of the Office of the Registrar. Instructors may not excuse a student from the final examination or make special arrangements to administer the exam at a time other than that scheduled by the Registrar.
