Harvard Medical School Orientation and Resource Guide Updated May 2020 PREFACE Welcome the Harvard Medical School (HMS) Community! This Orientation Guide is published by the Office for Diversity Inclusion and Community Partnership (DICP) to help incoming faculty, fellows, residents, and students become acquainted with the Harvard Medical School campus, its affiliated hospitals, and the surrounding areas. As a resource for underserved and marginalized communities, this guide delves into sources of support at Harvard Medical School, Harvard University, affiliated institutions, and beyond. This guide features services that cater to minority consumers, as well as other businesses, services and resources in the greater Boston area, including diversity-related offices and faculty development offices at HMS and affiliates. In addition to these offices, Harvard University programs, organizations, and safety resources provide community members with a sense of belonging and security. Not only does this guide depict the HMS community, but it illustrates neighboring communities through restaurants, local events, multicultural festivals, museums, concert halls, and more.
