  • Testimonials

    Before HDTT, I had no experience with writing editorial style pieces, but over the course of eight weeks, I was impressed by how my team and I were able to create an entire piece from scratch. HDTT changed my perspective on what research can look like and the collaborative environment and mentorship were incredibly helpful in expanding my ability to convey the impactful narratives of health disparities."

     

    — Jessica Zhuo, Harvard '27

    “HDTT was a valuable experience to work with like-minded students in a self-driven project aiming to bridge gaps in the literature on health disparties. It was a great opportunity to learn how to work with others, write an academic editorial, and overall learn more about a niche area of healthcare research in the U.S."

     

    — David An, Harvard '27

    “HDTT surpised me in its ability to mentor and guide a group of passionate yet inexperienced students to produce a reputable, exacting piece of research. The research to policy pipeline framework of the program streamlined the mentor pairing process of scientific research in an approachable, accelerated manner that allowed for an unbelievable turn around for manuscript writing. I am proud and grateful to have worked with HDTT."
