Directed Studies for M.D./Ph.D

Catalog description

For use of M.D./Ph.D. students at UConn Health to provide them with a credit benefit for their dual degree program. M.D./Ph.D. students enrolling in GRAD 6932 may hold a graduate assistantship and take additional graduate courses, which will allow us to continue integration of the graduate and medical school curricula in the first four semesters of the program. This 15-credit benefit is an approved for UConn dual degree programs and is an important aspect of the M.D./Ph.D. program as it integrates the two degrees programs, which is considered to be a best practice nationally. Grad 6932 will give M.D./Ph.D. students the same 15-credit benefit as DMD/Ph.D. students, reflecting what is already is in place in the graduate school for individuals that enter Ph.D. program with a Master's degree in a closely related field.
