Clinician Scientist Track: MD-PhD and MD-MPhil
The Clinician Scientist Track (CST) represents a program of study that allows eligible students to incorporate a Higher Degree by Research (HDR), either a PhD or an *MPhil integrated with the MD degree. The MD-PhD and the MD-MPhil are offered as an intercalated model; meaning you interrupt your MD degree to do full time PhD or MPhil research, then return to finish your MD and graduate with an MD-PhD or MD-MPhil.
- Intercalated MD-PhD – requires three years out of the MD
- Intercalated MD-MPhil – requires one year out of the MD
Medical students must be approved to apply for the MPhil or PhD. Please read carefully the eligibility criteria for the MD-PhD and MD-MPhil programs below. If you feel you are eligible, contact the Director of MD Research to discuss eligibility.
*The MPhil Degree is equivalent to the Research Master’s Degree (MSc).
