Abstract:
1）As in most other US medical schools, clinical curriculum at the Harvard Medical School consists of clerkship in required core specialties in the third year, which provides a clinical base for exposure to the broad disciplines of medicine and experiences essential to credentialing as a licensed physician, and of elective rotations in the fourth year for advanced experiences in interested specialties or fields.
2）Highly–motivated students and teachers enthusiastic in education produce effective participatory clinical training, supported by two–year longitudinal training for clinical skills and patient–doctor relationship and by incentives for residency match and academic promotion.
3）The Harvard Medical School continues to improve its curriculum, most recently by creating longitudinal learning experiences and mentoring,.
