HMS accounts for guests

Harvard Medical School accounts for guests allow visitors (non-HMS and HSDM employees) to access various HMS digital resources when requested by a sponsor. Sponsors must be Harvard Medical faculty or staff with a valid Harvard ID number. An HMS account for guests may initially be requested for up to one year, though they may be extended for additional time if a sponsor approves. Due to the licensing agreements with electronic journals, HMS accounts for guest roles will not have access to the Digital Library.
Note – A Harvard Sponsored Role (HSR) is required before an HMS account for guests can be requested. Visit the Harvard Sponsored Role website for more information. Requesting a guest account does not include the automatic provisioning of an HMS email address. See below for the steps to take when requesting an HMS account for guests.
