General Information

Dear Student,

Thank you for your interest in the BIDMC Harvard Psychiatry Training Program! Medical student education is a core mission of our department, and residents have the opportunity to teach on clinical services as well as in didactics, as small-group interview leaders, and as chief residents. We host Harvard Medical Students for their 4-week psychiatry clerkship and have a variety of advanced clinical elective and research fellowship opportunities for both HMS students and visiting students. Please reach out with any questions.

Unfortunately we are unable to sponsor observerships or other opportunities outside of these listed offerings.

Best wishes,



Marta Herschkopf, MD, MSt Director of Medical Student Education in Psychiatry, BIDMC mherschk@bidmc.harvard.edu
