M.D./Ph.D. Program
The UT Medical School, the UT Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and the UT M. D. Anderson Cancer Center participate in a combined program leading to both the M.D. and Ph.D. degrees. This program is sponsored and supported by the health science center and the UT M. D. Anderson Cancer Center for the most qualified candidates. Failure to timely meet either the M.D. or Ph.D. program requirements will result in dismissal from both programs. The program is administered by an M.D./Ph.D. Committee and involves the participation of faculty members from both institutions. The requirements established for the program meet the general requirements of both degrees in a flexible program of approximately seven years duration.
Students must meet the admissions requirements of both the Medical School and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences to qualify for admission to the M.D./Ph.D. program. The program is restricted in size and provides stipend support for the most qualified candidates. For information, visit our Web site at www.uth.tmc.edu/schools/gsbs/mdphd
Those interested in the M.D./Ph.D. Program should inquire through the Admissions Office of the Medical School. Application for admission to the MD/PhD Program may be made by submitting an application online through the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) and a mandatory secondary application online through the Texas Medical and Dental Schools Application Service (TMDSAS). Applications will not be reviewed until after the TMDSAS application has been received and processed. You may also contact the M.D./Ph.D. Program coordinator, Doris Thornton at 713-500-7511 or by e-mail at: Doris.E.Thornton@uth.tmc.edu |
