Learning Communities

Beginning in academic year 2010-11, T.H. Chan School of Medicine students are members of Learning Communities, established to allow more interclass interaction where students can learn from each other as they will when they are out in the real world. All entering first-year students are assigned to one of six houses, each with regionally significant names.  These social and academic homes are overseen by faculty mentors, who act as advisors, teachers and career development coaches.

All students are placed in one of the following houses: Blackstone, Brightwood, Burncoat, Kelley, Quinsigamond, and Tatnuck, represented by the following house seals.
