About the MD/PhD Program
All accepted students receive a tuition waiver and a stipend of $22,845 for all years of their training.
Students enrolled in the MD/PhD Program at SUNY Upstate Medical University will receive training in both medicine and basic scientific research. Graduates of this program receive a dual degree, the MD/PhD degree. Our graduates go on to careers as physician scientists, combining their knowledge of basic research and clinical practice to enhance the treatment of disease, very often in an academic setting.
This program is structured so that entering students complete the first two years of the Medical School curriculum, participating in research activities during the summer. Students then select a laboratory for their doctoral research and complete their PhD thesis before returning to Medical School for their 3rd and 4th years of clinical training.
