The '''Harvard–MIT Program ofin Health Sciences and Technology''', or '''HST''', is one of the oldest and largest [[biomedical engineering]] and [[physician-scientist]] [[Medical Scientist Training Program|training programs]] in the [[United States]]. It was founded in 1970 and is the longest-standing functional collaboration between [[Harvard University]] and the [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]] (MIT).

HST's [[interdisciplinary]] educational program brings engineering as well as the [[physical sciences|physical]] and [[biological sciences]] from the scientist's bench to the patient's bedside. Conversely, it brings clinical insight from the patient's bedside to the laboratory bench. In this way, HST students are trained to have deep understanding of [[engineering]], [[physical sciences]], and the [[biological sciences]], complemented with hands-on experience in the clinic or in industry; and they become conversant with the underlying quantitative and molecular aspects of [[medicine]] and [[biomedical science]]. Within the division, more than 300 graduate students work with eminent faculty and affiliated faculty members from throughout the [[MIT]] and [[Harvard]] communities.<ref>{{cite web | title= About HST | url=http://hst.mit.edu/about | accessdate=March 20, 2015 }}</ref> HST is also the home of the Laboratory of Computational Physiology (LCP) which hosts the [[MIMIC II]] database and [[PhysioNet]].
