In the following sections, we will be focusing on the MDCM and MDCM & PhD program.  

Academic Curriculum

The MDCM program is followed by both MDCM and MDCM & PhD students. It features a mix of both classroom learning and clinical practice, with students gaining clinical exposure from the very first year of study. 

Program Components (MDCM)

There are four components of the MDCM curriculum:

You will become actively engaged in patient care and learn to work as part of a healthcare team. During your clerkship, you will take courses in areas such as Family Medicine, Psychiatry, Public Health and Preventive Medicine, and more. You will also have opportunities to pursue clinical and research electives that reflect your own professional interests. "}]" code="timeline1">

The MDCM curriculum is built upon three core themes:

A focus on social studies of medicine, research fundamentals, evidence-based medicine (EBM), and critical appraisal.  "}]" code="timeline2">

All students who wish to complete the dual MDCM & PhD program must meet all of the admission requirements for the MDCM program at the time they apply. Students who take the MDCM & PhD dual program will follow a 7-year program based on the following structure:

You will complete the rest of the MDCM program requirements. i.e. the clerkships.  "}]">

Throughout the program, students meet every 2 weeks from September to April for research seminars. 

Tuition Costs & Funding Opportunities

Tuition costs.

Standard tuition fees vary depending on whether you are a Quebec resident, a Canadian citizen/permanent resident from outside of Quebec, or an international student.

Year 4: $23,832.22 ($26,862.01 total including other student fees) ","label":"For International students","title":"For International students"}]" code="tab3" template="BlogArticle">

Funding Opportunities

Different types of internal funding are available for medical students at McGill. Internal funding sources include entrance scholarships, research awards and bursaries, travel grants, and needs-based scholarships, bursaries, and loans. There are also various prizes and medals awarded to high-achieving students throughout their studies. External awards are also available. You can learn more about funding opportunities here .

MDCM & PhD Students: For students studying in the dual program, a $25,000/year stipend is offered to fund their studies. Summer bursaries, travel grants, and external funding are also available.

For costs not covered by scholarships or other funding, students can consider taking on a loan. Learn more about how to pay for medical school .  

Application Process

Before you begin, make sure you know which application category you belong to. Remember that Quebec residents will have to prove their residency in the province in order to be placed in the resident application pool.

Applicants for both the MDCM and MDCM & PhD programs apply through McGill’s own web-based application system . You will be able to track your application status afterwards through Minerva, McGill’s system for students and applicants. Whether you apply to the MDCM or MDCM & PhD, only one application is required. For both programs, the following documentation is required for your application:

• Your CV & VERL (“List of Verifiers”). McGill has a template for applicants to use for both
• Your academic transcripts
• Online CASPer assessment
• Your “academic workbook” (which converts your grades into McGill-compatible points)
• MCAT score: required only for applicants with a non-Canadian university degree (i.e. international students or Canadians who have graduated abroad). If you have an undergraduate degree from a Canadian university, submitting your MCAT score is optional, and will only be used if it makes your application more competitive overall.

The following additional documentation is required for MDCM & PhD program applicants only:

• Two letters of reference
• A research appendix of your publications and scholarly activities
• A one-page narrative describing your research experience, career goals, and your research subject/area of interest

The application process at McGill consists of 3 steps:

Offers are sent out around March 25th. Unsuccessful applicants are ranked, and a certain number of applicants from each category are offered positions on a waiting list. ","label":"","title":"Step 3: Offers"}]" code="tab4" template="BlogArticle">

Application Timeline

For both MDCM and MDCM & PhD applicants, the application timeline is as follows:

Target date for offers of admission  "}]" code="timeline4">

McGill strongly encourages its applicants to keep in mind the CanMEDS Roles Framework when preparing their application.

McGill also recommends that all potential applicants first ask themselves the following three questions to determine suitability:

• “Can I handle the rigorous and intense academic program that is required in order to become a physician?”
• “Do I have a passion for the profession of medicine, and am I ready and willing to dedicate and commit myself to be of service to others?”
• “Do my work and life experiences demonstrate that I have prepared myself in the best ways available to me for a career in medicine?”

Coursework and prerequisites 

These are the mandatory medical school prerequisites for the MDCM program: 

• 2 introductory Biology, with labs
• 2 introductory Chemistry, with labs
• 1 introductory Organic Chemistry, with labs
• 2 Introductory Physics, with labs

You should have no grade lower than “C” in all of your science prerequisites. Note that a lab component for each of the above courses is mandatory. At least 4 of the above 7 prerequisites must be officially completed by the November 1st application deadline. All science prerequisites must be passed, and one course cannot fulfill more than one requirement.

The following courses are recommended for applicants:

• Mammalian Physiology
• Organic Chemistry
• Molecular Biology
• Cell Biology & Metabolism

Your academic performance is worth 70% of your evaluation as an applicant. McGill will evaluate your academic performance using several factors. Your cumulative GPA counts for 90% of your academic evaluation, with the remaining 10% dedicated to context. Context includes the progressive difficulty of your coursework, any post-bachelor’s academics, and any professional degree programs.

McGill recommends that you have a GPA of 3.8 or above to be a competitive applicant. CEGEP applicants need an R score of above 34 to be competitive; R scores below 32 are rarely accepted. 

CV & VERL

Not unlike the AMCAS Work and Activities , your CV will follow the template provided by the McGill application, and will cover your Education, Work Experience, Community Service, Research Publications, Extracurriculars , Awards & Distinctions, and Skills & Hobbies. Your VERL (“List of Verifiers”) is a list of the names and contact info for the people who can verify each entry on your CV.

Note that your VERL submission is not the same as medical school recommendation letters . Your verifiers simply have to confirm that you were indeed involved in the activities you list on your application CV. They do not need to give an assessment of your character. However, it is a good idea to notify your verifiers that they might be contacted by the school. Let them know in person or via email that you are applying to medical school and that you are planning to include their contact info on the form.

The MCAT is NOT required for applicants who have completed their Bachelor’s at a Canadian university. For such applicants, submitting an MCAT score is optional, and will only be used in the application review if it makes the application more competitive overall. If you are interested in submitting an MCAT score , check out our suggestions for making a good MCAT study schedule . MCAT scores must be submitted by Canadian and international applicants who do not have an undergraduate degree from a Canadian university. If required, the MCAT must be taken before the application deadline, with a minimum MCAT score of 508-509 achieved. The highest overall score will be considered, not individual subset scores. 

Applicants must register on CASPer, verify their identity, and reserve a test time that matches dates specified by McGill’s program/application cycle. Remember, your CASPer score is only eligible if taken during the most recent test cycle, prior to the application deadline. You will only take the standard CASPer test – you can learn more about how to prepare for CASPer . You will NOT take the CASPer Snapshot . You may take the test in either English or French. McGill will receive your scores approximately three weeks after you take the test. 

While your MDCM application will benefit from prior research experience, a strong research background is mandatory for MDCM & PhD dual program applicants. As part of your application, you must submit a research appendix outlining your publications and scholarly activities to date. You must also submit a one-page paper, not unlike the MD-PhD essay , discussing your research experience, career goals, and research interests. You will also be required to submit two letters of reference from research mentors/supervisors.

Check out some stellar samples of MD-PhD essays in our video:

Letters of Reference (MDCM & PhD)

Two recommendation letters are required for MDCM & PhD dual program applicants only. Both of your writers should be research mentors or supervisors you have worked with closely. These reference letters should speak to the following factors: your research ability and potential, your motivation, your self-reliance and independence, your ability to work as part of a team, your ability to plan and conduct research, and your originality and creativity.

All letters must use official letterhead and be submitted in a sealed envelope to the Medicine Admissions office. They should also contain your full name and McGill identification number to clearly link the letters to your application. Electronically, your referees may submit letters as a PDF/A-compliant file via email using their institutional email address, or via Interfolio. 

Language Requirements

MDCM and MDCM & PhD students are not required to submit proof of French/English bilingualism when they apply. However, your language proficiency may be assessed before you begin your program to determine whether you require extra language study. Students should achieve at least a mid-intermediate level in both French and English to effectively treat patients. The French Language Centre offers classes to all McGill students, and there are also French for Medical Purposes workshops offered during both the Fall and Winter terms. For students wishing to improve their English skills, a summer English course is offered through the McGill Writing Centre. 

Interview Format

Interviews take place on-site at the Faculty of Medicine during February. McGill uses the Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI) format to assess your suitability for the program. Learn how to prepare for your MMI and practice with MMI questions to get ready. You should also familiarize yourself with some of the most common medical school interview questions as part of your preparation. The MMI is designed to evaluate you based on the Physicianship curriculum component at McGill and the CanMEDS roles. Candidates are permitted to choose either French or English as the language of their interviews.

The interviews last for half a day, and there are other activities and presentations offered throughout the day as well. You must attend your interview as originally scheduled; rescheduling and/or accommodations will not be granted. You should remember that your MMI performance counts for 100% of your chances of acceptance, and prioritize it accordingly.

Your MMI performance counts for 100% of your acceptance chances:

You will be asked to indicate your preference of campus after your interview: the Montreal campus, or the Outaouais campus in Gatineau (only 24 spots available). Offers for each campus will be made according to the availability of seats.

Acceptance and Waitlist Information

The target date for sending out offers is March 25th. All applicants who were interviewed are ranked and placed on a final list. A select number of applicants from each category will then be offered positions on a waitlist.

If you receive an offer, you must accept or decline within two weeks. If you accept, you must make a deposit of $500 CDN, which will be deducted from your total tuition fees.

Hi, Let's just take for instance, if I am a undergraduate student currently studying Pharmacology (who will get a degree of bachelor of Science with specialisation in Pharmacology) ... please can I apply with my pharmacology degree...like in my 3rd year. Will McGill university or any other Canadian university that accepts international students, accept an applicant who is studying Pharmacology for their bachelor's degree... Please,.....I will really appreciate if you reply..thanks

Hi Perpetual! There are certainly med schools in Canada that will accept students without a full degree, such as McMaster or UBC. However, McGill requires a completion of the undergrad.

Applying to MD-PhD Programs

New section.

Are you considering a MD-PhD program? Here the basics about applying to MD-PhD programs to help you get started.

The MD-PhD dual degree training prepares you for a career that is busy, challenging, and rewarding, and offers opportunities to do good for many people by advancing medical science, developing new diagnostics and treatments for diseases, and pushing back the boundaries of the unknown.

How do I know if a combined program is right for me?

MD-PhD programs are specifically designed for those who want to become physician-researchers, also known as physician-scientists. Graduates of MD-PhD programs often go on to become faculty members at medical schools, universities, and research institutes such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

MD-PhD program students are being prepared for careers in which they will spend most of their time doing research in addition to caring for patients. It is critical that applicants have a passion for doing both—most MD-PhD graduates feel strongly that they would not be fulfilled by only pursuing medicine or science.

How do I apply?

Nearly all MD-PhD programs participate in the application process via the American Medical College Application Service® (AMCAS®) . On the AMCAS application, students designate themselves as MD-PhD applicants and complete two additional essays: one related to why they are interested in MD-PhD training, and the other highlighting their significant research experiences.

What schools offer this type of program?

Nationwide, there are more than 90 MD-PhD programs affiliated with medical schools. The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) supports Medical Scientist Training Programs or MSTPs. They currently provide training grants that partially support MD-PhD programs at 49 degree-granting institutions. You can see which schools offer MD-PhD degrees in the  Medical School Admission Requirements  profiles under “Combined Degrees and Special Programs.” You can also review  Individual MD-PhD Program Information for Prospective Applicants  for easy access to individual MD-PhD program websites.

How long does it take?

Students enter an integrated curriculum that typically takes seven to eight years to complete. During which time, they satisfy the full requirements for both the MD and the PhD degrees.

What kind of work can I do? How much time is spent as an MD? As a researcher?

According to a  study of MD-PhD program outcomes , nearly 80 percent of graduates are following career paths consistent with the goals of their training, including working as full-time faculty in academic medical centers or for the NIH, research institutes, industry, and federal agencies. Those in academia, spend between 50 and 80 percent of their time conducting research, though this can vary by specialty. Their research may be lab-based, translational, or clinical. The remaining time is often divided between clinical service, teaching, and administrative activities.

A Personal Plea to Premeds

Trisha Kaundinya | January 13, 2021

When I was in college, I was in a premed “bubble” a lot of the time. I took many of my courses and labs alongside hundreds of other aspiring physicians. I would see the same people throughout my academic day, and sometimes even outside of the lecture hall. Because of this, I unintentionally overheard conversations […]

• M.D./Ph.D. Program Blog
• M.D./Ph.D. Student Profiles
• M Delta Curriculum for M.D./Ph.D. Students
• M.D./Ph.D. Student Publications
• M.D./Ph.D. Student Government

UConn’s M.D./Ph.D. program provides students with an intellectually stimulating and highly integrated educational experience leading to completion of both the M.D. and Ph.D. degrees. With many alumni matched to highly competitive residencies, the UConn M.D./Ph.D. program prepares its graduates for successful careers in both medicine and science.

The mission of our M.D./Ph.D. program is to prepare individuals of outstanding potential for productive careers as physician-scientists. The program emphasizes the development of skills necessary to become a highly competent and caring physician and to perform, evaluate, and communicate the results of independent research in the biomedical sciences.

Furthermore, we strongly believe in the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in science and medicine. Essential to this is our giving opportunities for students of all backgrounds including underrepresented minority groups, disadvantaged backgrounds, and those with disabilities. We are committed to provide individualized support for students from underrepresented or underprivileged backgrounds.

Our program is dedicated to high quality medical and graduate education tailored to the needs of the individual student. We are a close-knit community of students, faculty, and staff. Collegiality and mentorship are key aspects of the program.

Dedication to Diversity

The M.D./Ph.D. program at UConn Health is fully dedicated to making an environment that is inclusive and accepting of all of our students. To this end, we value diversity in all its forms, and encourage people of all backgrounds to apply to join our community of learning.

We believe that having a wide range of lived experiences adds value to the discussions we have with one another. As future healthcare providers and researchers, understanding differences in lifestyles and cultures help us provide the best care for our patients. The program works towards having a diverse environment to encourage dialogue and strengthen our understanding. Through this, we aim to add diverse and culturally competent physician-scientists to the work force.

We also emphasize outreach to underrepresented communities in our surrounding area through a variety of programs. These programs provide mentorship and education about the career paths in science and medicine, including physician-scientists. Through these, we aim to spread awareness and encourage diversity in the science and medical field in the future.

We welcome you to explore the many ways in which the UConn M.D./Ph.D. program, the School of Medicine, and the Graduate School work to ensure that UConn is a safe and welcoming environment for all. We also ask you to reach out to us with any questions about the M.D./Ph.D. program’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Program Structure

M.D./Ph.D. students matriculate for the first 18 months with the regular M.D. students before they pursue their graduate studies, taking four years to complete their Ph.D., and then return for clinical clerkships. During the first two years, in addition to completing the preclinical requirements of the medical school curriculum, students pursue select graduate school coursework and two to three laboratory rotations. Incoming M.D./Ph.D. students have the option to complete their first laboratory rotation the summer before matriculation.

There is an emphasis in continuity of clinical education, providing opportunity to practice clinical skills on patients from the start of medical school and throughout the graduate phase, better preparing students to excel in clinical rotations. Students remain actively involved in the program during all phases of their training via weekly research club, symposiums, leadership opportunities, and other events.

As part of the longitudinal clinical experience, students are required to continue clinical activities in community service clinics or in specialty clinics for a half day per month during the graduate phase in order to maintain their clinical skills. Following successful completion of requirements for the Ph.D. degree, students return to medical school to complete two years of clinical training.

For a full breakdown of program structure, see our page on the M Delta Curriculum for M.D./Ph.D. Students.

UConn School of Medicine is one of the nation's leading public medical schools, featuring a modern, case-based learning curriculum, early clinical experience, and state-of-the-art facilities for clinical simulation, virtual and cadaverial anatomy education

M.D./Ph.D. students engage in UConn School of Medicine’s industry-leading M Delta curriculum.

Learn more about UConn School of Medicine’s curriculum.

Graduate Education

During the graduate phase, students pursue intensive thesis research in one of seven areas of concentration (AOC) in biomedical science and complete additional coursework required by their AOC. The Biomedical Science AOCs are:

• Cell Biology
• Genetics & Developmental Biology
• Molecular Biology and Biochemistry
• Neuroscience
• Skeletal Biology and Regeneration
• Systems Biology

The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine

Ph.D. Program Regulations

The School of Computer Science offers a world-class Ph.D. program. The program typically takes 3–4 years, and prepares students for doing advanced research in a wide range of areas relevant to Computer Science. Students conduct research under close supervision of our highly regarded research faculty, work with cutting-edge technology, attend international conferences and workshops, and build important, life-long contacts and relationships with colleagues and faculty. Graduates of our program are highly sought after, going on to work as university faculty, industrial or government researchers, or as leaders in business and development in the technology sector.

Have a look at our many exciting research areas and labs as well as our faculty .

Further, detailed information can found in the sections below. If you have any unanswered questions, feel free to contact the Graduate Coordinator .

Program Details

Successful completion of the Ph.D. program requires a minimum residency, some amount of coursework, and includes various stages of evaluation to ensure good research progress.

Ph.D. studies requires several years of study. Students may be admitted to either year 1 ("PhD1"), or directly to year 2 ("PhD2") if they already hold a completed M.Sc. degree in Computer Science. The main difference is in how many years of full-time residency is required. Students admitted to "PhD1" must complete four years of residency (eight terms), plus one more year as a full-time student, while students admitted to "PhD2" must complete only three years (six terms) of residency, plus one more year as a full-time student. Once these requirements are met, any further time in the degree program is considered additional-session.

Letter of Understanding

This form , which is required by Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (GPS) for all graduate students admitted to thesis programs, is the starting point for a discussion between the Supervisor and the Student regarding expectations for the duration of the supervisory period. This is to be completed by the student after the discussion with the supervisor by the end of the first semester. Once signed by both parties, the letter should be uploaded directly to myProgress.

Progress Committee and Report

A student's progress through the Ph.D. program is monitored and evaluated on a yearly basis by a Progress Committee. Upon arrival at McGill a new Ph.D. student must, in consultation with his or her supervisor(s), form a Progress Committee. This committee will consist of least three professors---two members of the faculty of School of Computer Science, as well as the student's supervisor(s).

For the first year or two after entry into the program, progress is mainly evaluated when the student takes the comprehensive and proposal (area) exams. If either of these was taken in the last 12 months, there is no need for a detailed progress evaluation meeting, and the student just needs to submit a Progress Report Form (see below) directly to the graduate secretary.

At the beginning of September starting in the third year, the student is required to complete a Progress Report Form and submit it to their Progress Committee. At that time, an evaluation meeting is conducted by the Progress Committee, and the committee assigns a grade of either satisfactory or unsatisfactory with comments. If the mark is unsatisfactory, the Progress Committee offers specific comments to guide the student towards improving his or her performance. Note that earning an unsatisfactory mark twice may be cited as grounds for requiring that a student withdraw from the Ph.D. program.

Here is the progress report form: pdf format . Note that this annual progress report is different from the progress report used in the PhD comprehensive exam.

Comprehensive Exam

By the end of their first year in the program, Ph.D. students must complete a comprehensive examination. Exams are only conducted twice a year, in late August/early September, and again in early January. In order to take the exam, a student must register for COMP 700 in either the winter (January exams) or fall (August/September exams) semester.

The comprehensive exam consists of a Progress Report and a subsequent oral exam. First, several months before the exam is conducted, the supervisor (or co-supervisors), in consultation with other Progress Committee members and with approval from the Ph.D. Program Committee, gives the student a syllabus in an appropriate research area for the student to review. This syllabus is meant to cover significant contributions to a particular research topic, and consists of an organized and motivated list of approximately 15–20 publications, including conference proceedings, journal articles, and theses.

Based on the approved syllabus, the student writes a literature review. The review should demonstrate detailed understanding of some of the seminal developments in addition to familiarity with the broader chronological development of research in the area. The review report should be concise, but clear, and is typically between 12 pages and 15 pages in a single-spaced, 12 point font. This review, along with the rest of the formal Progress Report Form, must be submitted to the Evaluation Committee (via the graduate secretary) at least two weeks before the evaluation meeting takes place.

Here are progress report templates for the comprehensive exam, in latex format , or word format .

The actual Evaluation Committee is formed by the Ph.D. Program Committee and the supervisor (or co-supervisors). This committee evaluates the review document, and conducts the oral examination. The exam itself consists of two parts. During the first part (approx. 40–45 min), the student meets with the Evaluation Committee to verbally discuss the content of the progress report, and in particular answer questions from the committee pertaining to the literature review. A student's supervisor(s) also participates in this examination. Note that while questions are mainly based on the review content, students are also expected to know relevant computer science fundamentals.

During the second part, the committee meets (without the student) to discuss and vote on the student's performance. The committee considers the oral examination, the review itself, the student's performance in courses, and any other relevant academic or research accomplishments. Four Ph.D. Program Committee members (decided by the Chair of the Ph.D. Program Committee) and the student's supervisor are voters (in the case of co-supervision, a single vote is divided among the co-supervisors). A student must have a majority vote of pass in order to pass the exam.

In the event of a failure, the student is given one opportunity to retake the examination in the coming January or September, whichever is closer. After a second failure a student is required to withdraw from the program. Note that under special circumstances, and with approval of their supervisor(s) and the Ph.D. Program Committee, a student may delay the comprehensive exam, but under all circumstances the exam must be successfully completed within two years of initial registration in the Ph.D. program.

Ph.D. Proposal Exam

The proposal, or area exam is designed to test the research ability of the student in the area of the thesis as well as depth of knowledge in those areas of computer science closely related to the thesis topic. It is also used to evaluate a student's research progress, and suitability of their intended research plan.

Most students will take the proposal exam at some point late in their second year of registration. The proposal exam is a public, oral exam, and like the comprehensive exam the student must register for a special course, in this case COMP 701, in the semester in which he or she intends to take the exam. Unlike the comprehensive exam, however, proposals may be conducted at various times during the year, and are scheduled to fit availability of the proposal committee members.

The proposal committee consists of the student's supervisor(s), at least two faculty members from the School of Computer Science, and a representative of the Ph.D. Program Committee. At least two weeks prior to the exam date, the student must submit a 20-page (maximum) written report, single spaced in 12 point font, to the graduate secretary. This is distributed to the committee members, and is followed by the scheduled oral examination. The oral exam begins with an oral presentation by the candidate, summarizing the report, and lasting no more than twenty minutes. This is followed by a question/answer period with the members of the proposal committee, with each member given approximately 20-30 min of questioning (co-supervisor time is divided proportionally).

After questions, the exam moves to a closed session consisting of just the committee members, who, based on the student's progress, report, and performance in the exam vote on pass or failure. In the case of a first failure, the student will be given a single chance to retake the examination within six months. If the student does not schedule the exam within this time period, or fails a second time, the student will be required to withdraw from the program.

Note that proposal exams must be completed within three years of initial registration in the Ph.D. program, and after the successful completion of the PhD comprehensive exam; non-compliance with this rule will result in a failure.

The Ph.D. defense is a public, oral exam, and constitutes the final major stage in the Ph.D. program. This step requires that the completed thesis document has been transmitted to the thesis office, and that both the internal and external examiners have agreed to pass the thesis.

At this point a Ph.D. Defense Committee is selected. Like the proposal exam, a thesis defense may be scheduled for any time that the entire committee is available. The actual defense consists of a brief, pre-meeting of just the Ph.D. Defense Committee members, followed by the public part of the defense. The public part includes an initial, twenty minute presentation by the student, summarizing their thesis work, which is then followed by one or more rounds of questioning by the Ph.D. Defense Committee members. Questions may also be asked by the rest of the defense audience.

After questions, the exam again moves to a closed session consisting of just the committee members. Committee members consider the student's performance in the defense, as well as the written thesis reports, and vote on pass or fail, with a majority vote required to pass. After the meeting the thesis candidate is informed of the results.

Assuming a successful result, the supervisor verifies that the student makes all changes requested by the examiners and the defense committee. Once all changes have been completed, the final version of the thesis is transmitted to the thesis office and validated by the supervisor. This last step signifies that all necessary requirements of the Ph.D. program have been successfully completed.

The actual granting of degrees is done only a few of times per year, and thus while the final version of the thesis can be deposited at any time, convocation ceremonies only occur in the summer (May/June) and fall (October).

There are many specific regulations, forms, and deadlines to be observed in the thesis submission and evaluation process. Students and supervisors should consult the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies' thesis section for full details and to find detailed regulations on the process.

A detailed description of the admission process and requirements can be found on this page .

Note that as acceptance into the program requires a willing supervisor, Ph.D. applicants are strongly encouraged to contact potential supervisors ahead of time, or shortly after submitting their application.

MD/PhD Program

Our MD/PhD Program, the largest national program of its kind, trains and mentors the next generation of physician scientists.

Physician scientists are trained as medical doctors and scientists. They are in the unique position of pursuing both scientific research and clinical practice, translating academic excellence into health care excellence for Canadians every day. Our program attracts the very best medical researchers to U of T PhD programs, and has produced successive generations of innovative health leaders. Through collaborative and interdisciplinary research, we are advancing medicine and improving health around the world.

The MD/PhD Program trains physician scientists who are well prepared for both research and clinical practice, highly competitive and productive.

You may apply for admission into the MD/PhD Program at the same time as your MD application, or during your first year of medical school at U of T.

We have a wide array of research training opportunities available.

Research Application Support Initiative (RASI)

RASI is offered through the Community of Support and includes MD and MD/PhD student support with developing research CVs, publishing research, and finding research positions.

Black Student Application Program

We live during a time of remarkable advances in the sciences that span the expanse of biomedical to health services research. Indeed, there has never been a time when it is so exciting to do science; never has there been such potential for discovery and application of these discoveries for the benefit of human health.
