The WholeheartedMD Program

WholeheartedMD was founded at Harvard Medical School in 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic with hopes of addressing student distress, exacerbated by the pandemic, in partnership with students through community, education and open conversation.

This student-led initiative is centered on the 12-pilllars of PAVING the Path to Wellness™, founded by Beth Frates, MD in 2010 to address disparities in post-stroke care for patients at Spaulding.

We have piloted this intervention as a 12-week virtual program with 15 HMS medical students.
