MD/PhD Program

Through the MD/PhD Program, students will learn that the patient is the centre of clinical work and consequently, the centre of learning. Patient-centred care requires a relationship in which patients will feel that their concerns have been acknowledged and that the physician has understood their plight from each patient’s own unique perspective. Patients and physicians must work together to find common ground regarding management – reaching a mutual understanding of their problems, goals of treatment and respective roles of patient and physician.

Students who are accepted into the MD/PhD program carry out their doctoral research through one of the graduate programs at Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry. Students work collaboratively with their professors and have the opportunity to work with world-class research scientists with state-of-the-art equipment.
