MD–PhD

This article is about MD–PhD programs. For doctor of osteopathic medicine–PhD programs, see Medical Scientist Training Program § Non-MSTP MD–PhD and DO–PhD programs.

The Doctor of Medicine–Doctor of Philosophy (MD–PhD) is a dual doctoral program for physician–scientists, combining the professional training of the Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree with the research program of the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree.

In the United States, the National Institutes of Health currently provides 50 medical schools with Medical Scientist Training Program grants that support the training of students in MD–PhD programs through tuition and stipend allowances. These programs are often competitive, with some admitting as few as two students per academic year.[1]

The MCAT score and GPA of MD–PhD matriculants are often higher than MD only matriculants.[2][3]
