M.D./Ph.D. Program

Welcome to the M.D./Ph.D. Program at the University of Connecticut Health Center! Our program provides students with an intellectually stimulating and highly integrated educational experience leading to completion of both the M.D. and Ph.D. degrees.

Students typically spend the first two years completing the preclinical requirements of the medical school curriculum together with selected graduate school coursework and two laboratory rotations.

During the graduate phase, students complete additional coursework and pursue intensive thesis research in one of seven areas of biomedical science. Students then return to medical school to complete two years of clinical training.

The University of Connecticut Health Center is a close-knit community of students, faculty and staff. Collegiality and mentorship are key aspects of the program. We are committed to enrolling a diverse student body.
