Welcome to the University of Massachusetts Medical School

Congratulations! Starting a new endeavor is very exciting, and we would like to personally welcome you to the University as you are getting ready to begin your new endeavor.

At UMMS, the Immigration Services Office (ISO) will help newcomers get adjusted to their new home in the city of Worcester. We have designed an online ISO New Hire Welcome Kit to help newcomers learn and become knowledgeable about living in the United States.
