Training Programs

HST has seven training programs funded by federal sources, private foundations, and industry:

Doctoral Training Programs

Bioinformatics and Integrative Genomics (BIG)

This program provides training in Medical Engineering/Medical Physics (MEMP) with a specialization in bioinformatics and integrative genomics. A limited number of PhD candidates in this program are supported by an NIH-funded training grant.

Neuroimaging Training Program (NTP)

This training program allows students enrolled in any HST PhD program to further specialize in biomedical imaging. A limited number of neuroimaging trainees are supported by an NIH-funded training grant.

Bioastronautics PhD Training Program

This program, supported by funding from the National Space Biomedical Research Institute, combines the biomedical and engineering disciplines of HST's Medical Engineering/Medical Physics (MEMP) curriculum with space life science and human factors specialization, and hands-on experience in the human space flight arena.

Speech and Hearing Bioscience and Technology Training Program

This training program, funded by the NIH, provides support for PhD training in Speech and Hearing Bioscience and Technology.

Certificate Programs

MIT Graduate Education in Medical Sciences (GEMS)

An award from Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) funds GEMS as part of their larger effort to integrate medical knowledge into graduate education.

Post-doctoral Training with Optional Master's Degree

Biomedical Informatics Program (BMI)

Clinical Investigator Training Program (CITP)
