Overview

BU medical schoolBoston University School of Medicine, or BUSM, has about 730 M.D. students and is affiliated with Boston Medical Center, a nearby teaching hospital. The hospital runs the largest 24-hour Level I trauma center in New England. It also has one of the most diverse patient bases in the area. BUSM is known for conducting the world-famous Framingham Heart Study, which helped create so much knowledge of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

The campus was established back in 1848 as the New England Female Medical College, making it the first college in the world to offer a medical education to a woman. It was also the first school to have an African-American female graduate. Boston University School of Medicine is also noteworthy because it became the country’s first combined cancer research and teaching laboratory. Currently, there are over 600 funded research programs at BUSM.

BU classroomThere are several ways Boston University School of Medicine students can go about earning their degree. There are MA, MS, and PhD degrees through the Division of Graduate Medical Sciences (GMS). Masters degrees are available in bioimaging, clinical investigation, medical sciences, and mental health counseling and behavioral medicine. Masters of Science degrees are available in biomedical forensics, forensic anthropology, and genetic counseling. There are 10 options for M.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degrees. Some of the most popular programs include emergency medicine, family practice, neurology, pediatrics and ophthalmology. There are also special programs like the Early Medical School Selection Program, which helps place students attending black colleges, schools with large Hispanic populations and the Indian Health Service. There are also some joint degree programs with Boston University, where undergraduates can begin taking medical classes during their third year of school.

skyline view from BUThere are many opportunities to grow outside the classroom as well. BUSM students can participate in more than 30 student organizations in various topics like the Asian American Medical Society or the Domestic Awareness Violence Project. There are also chances to take advantage of service learning projects, where students can provide medical services to non-profit organizations. Boston University School of Medicine does a great job supporting their medical students through tutoring programs, workshops called “Strategies for Success” and peer advising. Students interested in a variety of medical specialties will benefit from the proximity to major Boston hospitals.
