Programme overview

Main Subject

Medicine

Study Level

PHD

This program provides students with rigorous training in both medicine and a basic science discipline. The MD/PhD program is a combined effort of the School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Wake Forest University. In this integrated program, neither the MD nor the PhD degree is compromised. It has long been true that the clinician-scientist has provided an invaluable perspective for research related to human health and disease. The clinician approaches biomedical problems with a different viewpoint than that of most researchers trained in classical PhD programs. The special value of this perspective is borne out in the fact that nearly 2/3 of recent Nobel prizes in Medicine and Physiology were awarded to MD or MD/PhD researchers. However, MDs trained in even the most prestigious institution rarely have the depth of research training provided in the standard PhD academic program.
