Custom Programs

Harvard Medical School's custom executive education and postgraduate education programs utilize impactful and innovative pedagogical methods, including expert lectures, case-based discussions, project work, simulations, site visits, mentored research, and capstone projects. Through state-of-the-art technology, programs can be delivered in blended formats, including online and in-person workshops. They can also be delivered virtually and at locations across the globe or on the Harvard Medical School campus in Boston.

We take a proactive approach to understand your needs and opportunities. We will work with your stakeholders to create high-impact educational experiences tailored to specific goals and strategic objectives. 

Drawing upon wide-ranging expertise across all aspects of health and medicine, programs can cover a wide range of topics including science, clinical research, drug discovery, novel therapies, clinical care delivery, enabling technologies like AI, and health care policy. Deep relationships with the world-class Harvard-affiliated hospitals and other Harvard Schools ensure that educational experiences are relevant to strategic objectives. 

Leadership development is a foundational element of many of our programs to help participants develop their abilities to lead in complex environments, work effectively in teams, and influence and drive change initiatives in health care.
