Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology

 http://hst.mit.edu/

Founded more than 35 years ago, the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST) is one of the oldest and largest biomedical engineering and physician-scientist training programs in the United States and the longest-standing collaboration between Harvard and MIT.

HST's unique interdisciplinary educational program brings engineering as well as the physical and biological sciences from the scientist's bench to the patient's bedside. Conversely, it brings clinical insight from the patient's bedside to the laboratory bench.

In this way, HST students are trained to have deep understanding of engineering, physical sciences, and the biological sciences, complemented with hands-on experience in the clinic or in industry; and they become conversant with the underlying quantitative and molecular aspects of medicine and biomedical science.

Within the division, more than 400 graduate students work with eminent faculty and affiliated faculty members from throughout the MIT and Harvard communities.

In addition to its outstanding record of accomplishment for research in human health care, HST educational programs are distinguished by three key elements:

• A strong quantitative orientation
• Required hands-on experience in a clinical or industry setting
• A focused interdisciplinary research project

HST offers nine multidisciplinary options for graduate study:

1. Medical Sciences MD Program
2. Medical Engineering and Medical Physics Doctoral Program
3. Speech and Hearing Bioscience and Technology Doctoral Program
4. Radiological Sciences Joint Program
5. Biomedical Enterprise Master's Program
6. Biomedical Informatics Training Program
7. Clinical Investigator Training Program
8. Master of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering
9. Graduate Education in Medical Sciences Certificate Program

Master's Programs

Biomedical Enterprise Program

Launched in 2002 as a collaboration with the MIT Sloan School of Management, HST's Biomedical Enterprise Program (BEP) is designed for individuals with business experience and a strong foundation in science and engineering. BEP prepares students for leadership roles in the transfer of new technologies from concept through product development to clinical adoption in the context of existing companies or newly established ventures.

Acknowledging that medical innovations in laboratory research and clinical care benefit society only when they become commercial products and services, BEP offers a unique curriculum that leverages the strengths of HST, MIT Sloan, Harvard Medical School (HMS), and the affiliated hospitals.

BEP students take preclinical and engineering courses alongside HST's MD and PhD students, and business courses with other MIT Sloan students. They participate in unique integrative courses designed to address the specific needs of starting, growing, and managing a biomedical enterprise.

These courses were developed and are taught by a team of HST and Sloan faculty, including several local entrepreneurs. Also included in the curriculum is a hands-on hospital-based clinical experience that pairs students with physician-scientists and provides insight into the hospital environment and patient care.

BEP offers two dual-degree options for individuals who need training in both management and science, and a one-year degree option for business executives who already have a graduate degree in management. The dual-degree option leads to an MBA or SM degree from MIT Sloan and an SM degree from HST. The single-degree option leads to the SM degree from HST. Further information is available at http://bep.mit.edu/ or by contacting bep@mit.edu.

Master of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering

The Master of Engineering (MEng) in Biomedical Engineering aims to educate students at the interface between engineering and biology or medicine, preparing them for leadership positions in the medical products, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries.

The five-year program leads to a bachelor's degree in a science or engineering discipline and a Master of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering. The program emphasizes engineering applications in systems physiology and clinical medicine; it is of particular value to students interested in applying biomedical engineering to the basic understanding of disease processes in the post-genomic era, and is designed for individuals desiring a medical and clinical focus in their careers.

Students take subjects that enable them to apply engineering expertise to problems in the medical and clinical sciences. Admission to HST's MEng program is open only to current MIT undergraduate students and requires candidates to demonstrate adequate quantitative and engineering credentials through coursework as part of their undergraduate degree program. Students interested in applying should submit a standard MIT graduate application by the end of their junior year.



In addition to satisfying the undergraduate requirements of their departmental program, candidates also are expected to complete subjects in differential equations (18.03); organic chemistry (5.12); biochemistry (7.05 or 5.07); and one engineering transport or systems subject (e.g., 2.005, 3.185, 6.002, 10.310).

More detailed program objectives and the requirements can be found on the HST website, http://hst.mit.edu/.

 

Master of Health Sciences and Technology

HST offers a general master's degree program that can be coupled to other degree programs, such as the MD degree described below. To accommodate a wide range of student interests, the curriculum for the Master of Health Sciences and Technology degree is determined by agreement between the student and his or her advisor.

There are no specific requirements other than the Institute requirement for 66 subject units and a thesis. In each case, the Institute requirement for the master's degree must be satisfied. Further information can be obtained from HST's Academic Office, Room E25-518, 617-258-7084.
