Founded in 1970, the Harvard–MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology, or HST, is one of the oldest and largest biomedical engineering and physician-scientist training programs in the United States. It is currently the longest-standing functional collaboration between Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). HST's unique interdisciplinary educational program brings engineering as well as the physical and biological sciences from the scientist's bench to the patient's bedside. Conversely, it brings clinical insight from the patient's bedside to the laboratory bench. In this way, HST students are trained to have deep understanding of engineering, physical sciences, and the biological sciences, complemented with hands-on experience in the clinic or in industry; and they become conversant with the underlying quantitative and molecular aspects of medicine and biomedical science. Within the division, more than 300 graduate students work with eminent faculty and affiliated faculty members from throughout the MIT and Harvard communities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://hst.mit.edu/about )〕 HST is also the home of the Laboratory of Computational Physiology (LCP) which hosts the MIMIC II database and PhysioNet. In addition to its outstanding record of accomplishment for research in human health care, HST educational programs are distinguished by three key elements: * A strong quantitative orientation * Required hands-on experience in a clinical or industry setting * A focused interdisciplinary research project HST is a part of MIT's Institute for Medical Engineering and Science and 1 of 5 societies at Harvard Medical School. ==Graduate Programs== HST offers two multidisciplinary graduate degree options: * Biomedical Sciences MD * Medical Engineering and Medical Physics (MEMP) PhD, with optional training programs in Bioastronautics and Neuroimaging〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=HST MEMP Training Programs )〕 In addition, HST offers the Graduate Education in Medical Sciences (GEMS) Certificate Program for MIT doctoral students. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harvard–MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
