You’ll face a highly competitive application process followed by one of the most rigorous programs in existence. But if you have what it takes to complete an MD/PhD program, you’ll join other physician-scientists in conducting ground-breaking research and changing the world of medicine.

In this video, I’ll help you decide whether an MD/PhD program is right for you. I’ll go over the unique features of MD/PhD programs and show you how hard it is to get accepted to one. I’ll also share the best strategies to increase your admissions odds so you can jumpstart your journey of becoming a physician-scientist.
