Being able to pursue a medical degree is a dream for many, and a costly one at that. Debt has been, and continues to be, a major concern of aspiring physicians. It is very often the reason that many talented students are unable to achieve their dreams.

Student Conference and Travel
An excellent and collaborative academic program provided in top-notch facilities is the foundation of a quality primary care medical education. Just ask U.S. News & World Report, which ranked our program as the best in New England in its 2023 list.
Rounding out that education is important, which is why T.H. Chan School of Medicine students are encouraged to attend national and international conferences. In fact, some prestigious conferences are invitation only.
