As part of our academic mission, we are involved in training the next generation of clinicians. We are a training site for the Harvard Longwood Residency Training Program, Harvard Medical students and psychology, social work and occupational therapy students. These trainees are a valued part of our multidisciplinary team and are closely supervised by our experienced providers. We are also increasingly working side-by-side with researchers, and may offer you opportunities to participate in clinical studies. Clinicians who are involved in teaching and research provide you the most evidence-based, state-of-the-art care possible.
