One program is giving high school students who want to be future doctors, nurses and scientists real world experience. Harvard Medical School founded the MedScience program a decade ago to create diversity and opportunity in careers that involve science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Since its inception, the program has worked with 30 Massachusetts high schools — 20 of them in Boston — and 1,500 students. They have included ones from Boston Latin School, Madison Park High School, Kennedy Health Care Academy and John D O’Bryant School of Mathematics and Science. One of the first Boston Public School students to participate is now in his third year at Tufts Medical School.
