New York Medical College
offers graduate students a joint M.D. / Ph.D. program that
awards both degrees upon completion. While the usual program
format for the M.D. is preserved, many of the Ph.D.
requirements are completed as part of pre-clinical course
work. Students then enroll in the Joint Degree Program after
entering medical school. From an academic standpoint the
program is joint only in that the joint degrees are awarded
at the end of the program, although the student may have
finished all the Ph.D. requirements two years previous to
that point. Tuition for the last two years is waived for
students who complete the Ph.D. requirements.
