This elective provides a 4-week opportunity for medical students (with/without core clerkship in radiology completion) for hands-on experience in Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging. Students' home institution is BWH, but like residents who train in the Joint Program in Nuclear Medicine (JPNM), an ACGME-approved training program, they will spend time at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Boston Children's Hospital based on interest and availability. At each institution, the\u2026\n

Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital offers a four-week course for students who have completed a core clerkship or equivalent in radiology and would like further exposure to neuroradiology. The schedule will be customized to the student\u2019s interests and goals. The student will observe and participate in interpretation of brain, spine, and head and neck imaging while paired with a resident or fellow with overall supervision by neuroradiology faculty. The student will have opportunity to independently\u2026\n

This seminar course introduces the use of implementation science to improve health care delivery to underserved populations in low and middle-income countries as well as in the United States. Class time is split between didactic lectures, discussion of published case studies, and application of concepts via work in small groups. Students complete and present a final group assignment. This assignment requires them to develop a proposal for a research project that employs the concepts\u2026\n
Clinical drug development has evolved dramatically over time and the field continues to advance today. The methodology of clinical trials has evolved with new techniques being introduced, the design and statistical aspects have become more sophisticated in parallel with the increased use of technology and the introduction of new drug modalities. The rigor and discipline of this process means that people can trust that the medicines they take are likely to be safe and effective, and that\u2026\n
Intermediate Medical French is designed for students with some working knowledge of conversational French. The Fall course will have a particular focus on the basics of taking a medical history with patients. With weekly sessions led by HMS teaching faculty, we hope to provide a solid base for our students to learn enough medical French terminology to communicate effectively with patients in a variety of medical settings. Requirements for this course include: at least one year of college\u2026\n
Even with the thousands of approved small molecule drugs at our disposal, there remains a lack of effective prevention and treatment for many diseases. Fortunately, a new and exciting drug modality has emerged called nucleic acid therapeutics that has the potential to address current unmet needs.This class of drugs uses nucleic acids and closely related compounds for a variety of applications, including regulating gene expression, stimulating the immune system, editing the genome, or\u2026\n
In recent years, close collaboration between multiple scientific disciplines has rendered gene therapy a viable treatment option for some genetic conditions, and a promising pursuit for many others. As of today, there are numerous clinical trials underway for gene therapy treatments of various cancers, blood disorders, neurological diseases, and inherited retinal disorders to name a few. Advancements in vector science, gene editing technologies, and our understanding of the molecular\u2026\n
This course introduces medical students to fundamental concepts at the core of artificial intelligence (AI), as applied to health care problems. The goal is to provide health care practitioners with skills that will help them: 1) recognize what clinical problems AI, and machine learning (ML) in particular, can solve; 2) critically evaluate the growing literature that applies ML in a clinical context; and 3) appreciate the limitations of AI/ML when used to inform clinical decision\u2026\n
The course is planned to acquaint the student with the technical, physiological, and immunological principles underlying the management of both adult and pediatric solid organ transplant recipients. This includes the evaluation processes of transplant candidates from their referrals, living donor candidates, and deceased donors, all prior to transplantation. Then it continues with the transplant procedures and the peri-operative care of the recipients and living donors. And Finally the\u2026\n
