OCS-Students: Careers / Health and Medicine Overview

Health and Medicine

The OCS office at 54 Dunster Street will be closed during July. Therefore, the premedical advisors, Lee Ann Michelson and Jeff Glenn, will not be able to meet with students or respond to emails/phone calls during this time. Please check our website for questions about course requirements, completing the AMCAS and secondary applications, MCAT, internship opportunities, etc. Alumni and current students can also contact their House Premedical Tutors for advice.

We will be back in the office on August 3. If you have an urgent problem before August 3 that cannot be answered by the website or your House Tutor, please contact OCS main office at (617) 495-2595 or ocsrecep@fas.harvard.edu. Someone will contact you by the end of the next business day.
