Frequently Asked Questions

Do HMX and HealthXcelerate certificates convey Harvard Medical School credit?

No, we do not award credit for these courses.

What criteria are used to award HMX certificates?

Scores and participation in assessments throughout the course, including a final exam, determine whether a student qualifies for:
  • a Certificate of Achievement – meeting minimum score requirements
  • a Certificate of Completion – completing all course materials, with no minimum score requirement
  • no certificate
Earning a certificate requires significant effort, and not all participants will meet that level. Letter grades (A, B, C, and so on) are not awarded.

What criteria are used to award HealthXcelerate certificates?

To earn a HealthXcelerate certificate, learners must complete all course materials in all six courses.

Are transcripts provided?

Formal transcripts are not provided for HMX and HealthXcelerate courses.

I have a certificate without a Document ID. Is the certificate valid?

Certificates for HMX Fundamentals and Pro courses issued before August 2020 do not have Document IDs. To validate a certificate without a Document ID, please contact onlinelearning@hms.harvard.edu.
