Applicants not selected for the graduate school are still eligible for acceptance into the medical school. The combined MD/PhD program requires the same military commitment as the school of medicine. Three MD/PhD degrees are currently offered; neuroscience (NES), molecular and cell biology (MCB), and emerging infectious diseases (EID).
The program has its origins in the non-NIH funded MD-PhD training offered at the nation's research-centric medical schools. An early dual-degree program began at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in 1956. [4] Other prominent medical schools quickly followed this example and developed integrated MD-PhD training structures.
Admission to the MD program at the Geisel School of Medicine is highly selective. Geisel receives approximately 7,000 applications each year for about 92 places in the entering class. In 2021, the acceptance rate was 3.1%. [39] In 2021, the Geisel School of Medicine ranked 45th in research and 24th in primary care by U.S. News & World Report. [39]
The School of Medicine offers several joint degree programs including MD/MA through the Interdisciplinary Master of Arts in Bioethics and Medical Humanities, MD/MS through the School of Public Health & Information Sciences, MD/MBA through the UofL College of Business, and MD/PhD through any of the basic research departments in the School of ...
In recent years, the program has pioneered a summer program known as "Gateways to the Laboratory" in order to increase the number of students who are from underrepresented backgrounds in science and medicine. [10] Alumni from this program often matriculate in the Tri-Institutional MD–PhD Program, and make up a significant portion of its class.
Robert F. Schilling (MD 1943), developed the Schilling test for pernicious anemia and conducted research on Vitamin B12; [32] was also a professor-emeritus at UW–Madison [32] Notable past and present faculty include: Charles R. Bardeen, first dean of UWSMPH and the first graduate of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine [33]
