Additional Opportunities
Dual Degree Programs
Drexel University College of Medicine offers several
programs that allow students to earn dual degrees at
the graduate level. These programs give students an
opportunity to develop their specialized interests during
their medical school years.
Applicants to the M.D./Ph.D. program apply jointly
to both programs. Please follow all application
deadlines for the joint program.
Applicants to the M.D./MBA, M.D./MPH and
M.D./M.S. programs proceed with their application
separately from their medical school application.
Applicants must be accepted to the medical school
in order to be considered for one of these dual
degree programs.
M.D./PH.D. DUAL DEgREE PROgRAM
The M.D./Ph.D. program is designed for a limited
number of students who are strongly motivated
toward a career in academic medicine and medically
oriented research. The program trains individuals
in the fundamental clinical aspects of medicine
and offers advanced training in a specific field of
research. Physicians with extensive research training
are uniquely positioned to advance medical care and
to teach at the cutting edge of medical discovery.
The program also includes an engineering track for
qualified students with engineering and biomedical
engineering backgrounds.
Students in the M.D./Ph.D. program receive a full
tuition waiver, a competitive stipend and medical
insurance allowance throughout the course of study.
M.D./Ph.D. Program Application Procedure
Applications are submitted initially to the medical
school through AMCAS. If approved by the medical
school initial review, a secondary application will
be sent. On the secondary application, there is a
box that can be checked to indicate interest in the
M.D./Ph.D. Program. Checking this box places
the application in a separate review group. The
applicant should include a personal statement, with a
description of research experience and interest, with
the secondary application. The applicant should also
provide a recommendation letter from at least one
individual who is able to assess his or her research
capabilities and potential.
