The School is home to about 650 students in the MD program, 500 in the PhD program, and 130 in the MD-PhD program, allowing a student to receive his or her MD from HMS and his or her PhD from either Harvard or MIT. The School has a faculty of almost 8,000, most of whom work at the many Harvard-affiliated hospitals in Boston.
In the book The House of God ( Samuel Shem), the Medical School and its students are referred to as BMS (Best Medical School/Students). The novel is set in the famed Beth Israel Deaconess hospital in Boston where the author finished his residency.
