MD/PhD and collaborative programs

In addition to the main graduate programs offered at LMP there are other graduate study opportunities.

MD/PhD program

The MD/PhD Program at the University of Toronto, offered jointly by the Temerty Faculty of Medicine and the School of Graduate Studies, provides highly qualified students the opportunity to combine fundamental biomedical research with clinical training.

A limited number of selected students may enter the MD/PhD program subject to admission into both a department PhD program and the MD program.

A four-year bachelor's degree is required for admission to the MD/PhD program.

You are also eligible to apply if you are in a Master's program or in your first-year of medical school.
