HMS has a three-phase MD curriculum:

  • The preclerkship phase, which has two parallel curricular tracks—Pathways (making up roughly 80 percent of MD students) and Health Sciences and Technology, or HST (with about 20 percent of students).
  • The principal clinical experience (PCE) phase, which is the 12-month core clerkship year.
  • The post-PCE phase, when students take advanced courses, clerkships or subinternships and complete their required scholarly research projects.

There are a few important specifics about each curricular track. Each year, 135 MD students are enrolled in the Pathways program, and they learn alongside 35 first-year HSDM students in the preclerkship phase. Meanwhile, 30 MD students are enrolled each year in the HST program, which directs its programming at students who are already committed to becoming physician-scientists. HST’s preclerkship phase is shared between HMS and MIT, and the MD courses are conducted jointly with medical engineering-medical physics PhD students from MIT.

While the HST track also follows a three-phase curriculum, the first phase is six months longer than Pathways to match MIT’s semester structure and provide time for intensive research. As a result, the PCE phase has two six-month “phase-shifted” admission points: the Pathways students enter each fall and the HST students each spring. Finally, the extra six months of the Pathways post-PCE phase allow for three additional required months of basic and population/social science courses, as well as mentored research experiences.

Radiology does not use the NBME Subject exams but does hold an end-of-clerkship exam on the last day of each clerkship.

Important: Please plan all non-clerkship activities, including travel arrangements, around these exams. No student will be excused from the regularly scheduled exam.
