1. Admissions
Applicants for the PhD in Health Professions Education program (33 credits) must have successfully earned a Master of Science in Health Professions Education from MGH Institute of Health Professions, or provide proof of graduate-level training and an earned degree that can be evaluated for equivalence to the MGH Institute MS in Health Professions Education. International applicants will need to fulfill the MGH Institute requirements for international students, in consultation with the HPEd Department Chair or designee. Each individual case will be evaluated such that selected the MS courses in the MS-PhD program can be required or can be waived based on the applicant’s prior masters-level courses.
Applicants for the MS-PhD in Health Professions Education must have an earned bachelor's degree from either a regionally accredited U.S. college or university or an accredited college or university (for those educated outside the U.S.).
Admission decisions are based on transcripts (undergraduate and graduate), a written personal statement, written recommendations from former professors/clinical supervisors/colleagues, and a personal interview (when deemed necessary to make a final decision). Applicants have the option of submitting a personal diversity statement.
