113.1.1 Combined Program for the Degrees of MD and PhD
Highly qualified students wanting to pursue a career of teaching and research in basic medical science or clinical medicine may enrol in a program of approximately six to eight years leading to the acquisition of both an MD and a PhD degree.
Students in the first year of the MD program may apply to the Combined Program. If acceptable to the appropriate department, to the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, and to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, the student is admitted to the PhD program. Normally, on completion of two years of the MD program, the student registers in the PhD program. The time needed to complete the requirements for the PhD depends on the applicant's previous training and the nature of the research. On completion of the PhD program, the student re-enters the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry and completes the requirements for the MD degree.
Students interested in such a program may obtain further information from the Office of Research, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, 2J2.11 Walter C Mackenzie Health Sciences Centre.
