  • MD/Phd Programs
    MD/PhD Programs The typical program of study includes the first two years of the medical school basic sciences curriculum, followed by three or more years of graduate school and thesis research, and then the final two years of clinical clerkships. However, M.D./Ph.D. program length varies considerably between schools. The current average time to graduation from start to finish in MSTPs is 7-8 years. M.D./Ph.D. admissions The fraction of M.D./Ph.D. applicants is typically very small relative to those not pursuing a combined degree. At most schools, M.D./Ph.D. applicants must go through the normal medical application process. Applicants must also complete a separate M.D./Ph.D. application, which consists of MCAT scores, GPA, undergraduate institution, one or more essays, and additional letters of recommendation from those who can assess the applicant’s potential for a career in research. Interview arrangements vary between programs, with some providing airfare, hotel accommodations, meals, and planned activities. M.D./Ph.D. applicants typically have many more interviews at each school than those pursuing the standard M.D. pathway. In addition, many unique factors come into play when making a decision on which program to attend. There is considerable variation among programs in virtually all aspects of the application process, MSTP Programs Medical Scientist Training Programs (MSTP) are M.D./Ph.D. programs offered by a small number of United States medical schools with funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to train physician scientists for biomedical research, particularly “translational” or “ bench and bedside” research.

  • (Aoasm) Aoa Update
    AOASM– AOA Update April 26, 2021 AMERICAN OSTEOPATHIC ASSOCIATION OF SPORTS MEDICINE (AOASM) AOA UPDATE I. OPENING REMARKS I am Thomas Ely, DO, an osteopathic board-certified Family Physician, and currently President of the American Osteopathic Association. April 18-24, 2021, we celebrated National Osteopathic Medicine Week, highlighting the proud 129-year heritage of osteopathic medicine, reflecting the momentous contributions of DOs – past, present, and future – within the health care system and in the lives of millions of patients. As we reflected on our heritage, we looked forward to our future. So, I thank you for the opportunity to provide a brief update on how the American Osteopathic Association is working for YOU. Even though we have been working in a “virtual world,” I can assure you that the AOA has been involved in many significant activities and areas that have, and will have, definite impact on the osteopathic profession. We are a physician-led, physician-directed organization working to measure, anticipate, and respond to YOUR needs. II. AOA OPERATIONAL PRIORITIES In addition to supporting physicians and students during the pandemic, the operational priorities for my presidential year have been aimed at advancing, enhancing, and building a bright future for the osteopathic profession. My first objective is to Expand the Osteopathic Community. Currently, osteopathic physicians represent approximately 11% of all practicing physicians in the United States, but osteopathic medicine is one of the fastest-growing segments of health care, with a growth increase of almost 300% over the past three decades. We graduate over 7,000 new osteopathic physicians a year and by the end of this decade, we will represent an estimated 20% of all practicing physicians in the United States.
