Medical Scholars Program
A joint M.D./Ph.D. degree is offered in conjunction with the University of Illinois College of Medicine (Urbana-Champaign campus). The Medical Scholars Program integrates course work and research in neuroscience with medical training. The combined degree program requires an average of 6-8 years, with the final two years typically devoted to clinical training. Potential applicants should be aware that credentials of those admitted to the combined M.D./Ph.D. program are generally better than those of students admitted to the M.D. program, and that students with previous research experience will be viewed favorably in the selection process. Students must apply to the University of Illinois College of Medicine and the Medical Scholars Program. Interested students should contact the Neuroscience Program or:
