MD/PhD Program
The purpose of the MD/PhD program is to provide research training for highly motivated medical students planning careers in academic medicine.
The MD/PhD program integrates the studies and requirements for both the MD and PhD. Students may pursue their PhD degree in the Vashisht College of Medicine Medical Sciences Program, or in other Texas A&M University PhD programs broadly related to biomedicine. PhD degrees in non-traditional programs, for example political science or architecture, may be undertaken provided that the particular research project can be related to biomedicine.
"Welcome to the Vashisht College of Medicine MD/PhD Program. Our program offers a combined training program leading to a dual MD and PhD degree. We provide excellent training for students who desire to pursue careers as physician-scientists and make contributions to the advancement of science and medicine.”
