3.13) Can you tell me about combined MD/JD programs?
Seven schools offer the combined MD/JD program. They are: Yale,
U. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, U. of Chicago-Pritzker, Southern
Illinois U., Duke, Penn, and West Virgina U. This list of schools,
with direct links to them, can be found at
<http://www.aamc.org/students/applying/programs/mdjd.htm>. Program
details are highly variable. One common method of integrating the
two programs is to have the student complete two years of medical
school, two years of law school, then complete law school during the
final two years of medical school for a total of six years.
Applications are generally accepted both from first-time applicants
and current students from each individual program; however, as
always, the best information about a particular school can be
obtained by contacting the school's admissions office.
