Graduate research
The MDCM-PhD program considers applicants wanting to do a PhD not only in basic/clinical sciences, but also fields such as Epidemiology, Health Services Research, Biomedical Engineering, Health Economics, and Public Health. During the first year of the combined program, you begin the process of choosing a supervisor and research laboratory for the PhD studies.听You must follow the PhD admissions process stipulated by your supervisor鈥檚 academic department. Research is usually carried out on a topic within the biomedical sciences (Basic or Clinical) available at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Departments. For a list of graduate programs in medicine please see the list of Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Departments.
By September of year 2, with the help of the MD-PhD Program Advisory Committee, you must finalize your PhD supervision and confirm a department. The 91社区 Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies Office must also accept this.
