The Boston Medical Center Mission

We are dedicated to improving the health of the people of Boston and beyond. From preventive care and chronic disease management to addressing the root causes of illness and inequities, we take a holistic approach. Our innovative programs — like an in-hospital food pantry and rooftop garden — bring this commitment to life.

Care Rooted in Equity

57 percent of our patients come from underserved communities, reinforcing our mission to provide equitable, accessible care for all.

Representing Our Communities

More than half of our patients identify as part of an ethnic or racial minority group, and we tailor our care to reflect and respect their cultures.

Speaking Every Patient’s Language

One in three BMC patients speaks a primary language other than English, which is why we offer interpretation in 150+ languages, including ASL.

You will have the opportunity to work with great teachers, great faculty, and a great collaborative culture where you’re totally free to be yourself and to grow.
