Every HMS student is provided an official HMS email account. Usage of the HMS email system indicates that you will abide by this policy. Access your HMS email online with your primary email address at mail.med.harvard.edu. Students may access email on a mobile device or via an email program such as Outlook, Mac Mail, or Thunderbird. Setup instructions for various applications are here. Because the Medical School and other offices at Harvard send official information and notifications to this designated account, students are responsible for regularly monitoring their Harvard email account for important communications. Students should also be aware that email is NOT a highly secure form of communication and should never be used to store or transmit high risk confidential information such as patient information, social security number or any confidential information that you do not want to be public. Please read more about HMS email terms of use here.
