The Harvard Med-Peds Program participates in the National Resident Match Program (NRMP). The Department of Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital is committed to diversity within its faculty and staff. The Medicine-Pediatrics Selection Committee actively encourages applications from women and members of minority groups.
