Mount Auburn Hospital

Mount Auburn Hospital is a 250-bed Harvard Medical School community teaching hospital. Mount Auburn is located in the heart of Cambridge, on the Charles River just outside Harvard Square. It serves Cambridge and the surrounding communities. Mount Auburn is regarded by its neighbors and the medical community as a high-quality, responsive health-care and teaching institution. It has a medical staff of more than 500 doctors.

The Emergency Department is a full, independent hospital department and sees 29,000 patients each year. An additional 16,000 lower acuity patients are seen in the walk-in clinic. Patients of all ages and medical conditions are triaged by the same mechanism and are seen in the emergency department or the fast-track area, both of which are under the supervision and control of emergency medicine physicians. Documentation is supported by an innovative, computerized medical record.

Mount Auburn Hospital provides residents with experience in a state-of-the-art community hospital that serves as the base for a large suburban pre-hospital system.
