M.D./Ph.D. Program

Outstanding students in medicine and dentistry can apply to the combined M.D./Ph.D. or D.M.D./Ph.D. program.

The curriculum for the M.D./Ph.D. program includes the requirements for an M.D. or D.M.D., plus the additional coursework and research required of students in the direct Ph.D. program. Each student's curriculum is determined individually, dependent on their progress as well as the nature of their research.

Students may continue their Ph.D. studies at the Faculty for an additional three years beyond the time required for an M.D. or D.M.D.

Required Courses

Students attend advanced courses totaling at least 24 weekly hours (including 12 hours in the first year), of which at least 8 hours are in the main research area for the Ph.D.

The remaining 12 hours (or 8 hours - if the student is exempt from biostatistics) must be completed during the second year. These include Scientific Writing, Lab Safety, and Biostatistics.

For students who work with laboratory animals, an additional course is required in the Ethical Conduct and Care of Research Animals.This course is considered part of the 24 hours above

The student must meet all the requirements for the courses, including an examination or written report with a minimum final grade of 90.

Seminars

Students must attend at least 25 seminars. They must first approve these seminars with their Department secretary or advisor.

During their final year, students must lecture about their work as part of a Departmental seminar or during a scientific conference. This lecture must be approved by the Secretariat for the School of Graduate Studies.

It is mandatory for students to participate in all program meetings, as determined by the M.D./Ph.D Committee.
