Letter from the Editor-in-Chief: The Next 25 Years: Harvard Medical Students' Wishes for the Future of Medicine

Abstract

Amidst the past year's assaults on science, medicine, and academia at large, we at the Harvard Medical Student Review recognize that our profession stands at a precipice. In times of crisis, we are called upon not just to endure, but to innovate. This special issue captures the aspirational visions of Harvard medical students for the next 25 years of medicine, emphasizing the urgent need to rebuild the social contract between medicine and the public, ensure sanctuary for all, and make scientific advances accessible to everyone.
