The MD/PhD Program is for students who are committed to becoming physician-scientists and who wish to conduct rigorous, hypothesis-driven laboratory or population-based research into some of the most vexing biomedical problems we face, including: cancer, cardiovascular disease, aging, infectious diseases, obesity and diabetes, neurological/psychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. This dual degree program is a seven-year program, in which students complete two years of School of Medicine medical school and then embark full-time on their PhD dissertation research for three years after which students will complete the final two years of School of Medicine medical school. Interested students should submit an application for medical school to the Texas Medical and Dental Schools Application Service and indicate their interest in the MD/PhD program on the application.

Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences
- IMGP
The Integrated Multidisciplinary Graduate Program is composed of ten different multidisciplinary tracks that reflect contemporary research in the biomedical sciences. - Biomedical
Engineering
Students are trained in the principles of biomedical engineering to develop new approaches for the treatment of human diseases. - Molecular
Medicine
Students are trained in the use of molecular biological approaches for investigating biomedical questions associated with human diseases. - Nursing
Clinical nurse scientists undertake a curriculum that includes philosophy of science, research methods and techniques, nursing theories and statistical methods. - Radiological
Sciences
Students are trained in the use of radiant energy to understand and modify biological processes. - Translational Science
Students are trained to lead multi-disciplinary biomedical research teams in bench-to-bedside or bedside-to-community translational research. The TS PhD is a new, joint degree program among four UT institutions.
