Enhance your MIT pre-med experience at MIT Health
MIT Health’s Student Volunteer Program (SVP) gives students the opportunity to learn from our healthcare professionals and make a positive impact on the MIT community.
What you’ll do:
- Shadow MIT Health clinicians (Observational shadowing only — no clinical tasks required)
- Gain insights into patient care, beyond the front desk
- Assist staff with small non-clinical tasks (Examples include wayfinding and assisting patients with mobility challenges)
- Learn about professionalism, appropriate behavior, and boundaries in a healthcare setting
Program requirements:
- Current flu vaccination (Documentation required)
- Current TB screening
- Background check
- Complete healthcare workplace training
Students can sign up for one two-hour shift each week, based on your schedule (Shifts are available weekdays from 10 a.m.–4 p.m.)
Applications for the first semester cohort are due by September 1, 2025.
