Tri-Institutional MD-PhD Program

The Tri-Institutional PhD Programs at Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences (WCGS) offer interdisciplinary graduate training in various fields of biomedical research. These programs are part of the collaborative effort between Weill Cornell Medicine, Rockefeller University, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Each program provides rigorous training in research methodologies, critical thinking, and scientific communication, preparing students for careers in academia, industry, and more.    

The Tri-Institutional MD-PhD Program offers an integrated curriculum that allows students to pursue both medical and graduate research training concurrently, leading to both an MD degree from Weill Cornell Medicine and a PhD degree from either Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Rockefeller University, or Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School. This program aims to train physician-scientists who can bridge the gap between clinical medicine and scientific research. 

Each program administers their own separate application. Please visit the Tri-Institutional MD-PhD website to learn more.
