Hello Diane- I'm a medical student at McGill,and ahve spent several years in the Boston area. Although I wasn't involved in academic work in your field, I'm convinced that Harvard must offer programs in health policy and development- either through Harvard School of Public Health or the Kennedy School. I was a graduate student at MIT (in science) and it is my impression that most doctoral programs provide funding in the sense that you are obliged to teach for 2 or 3 terms, and then funds are usually provided by research super- visors. Hope this is helpful. michelle Milne 514-270-7352 [log in to unmask]
