FYI. For students interested in the
MD/PhD option.
Dear Pre-Health Advisors,
I would like to bring to your attention a fantastic MD-PhD FACT based website:
http://www.aamc.org/students/considering/research/mdphd/start.htm
This website, developed by seasoned MD-PhD directors and administrators is an
ideal tool for pre-health advisors, MD-PhD students and applicants (including
potential applicants). It is the official website of the MD-PhD
Section of the AAMC.
For those of you with a website, I encourage you to also provide a link to this
website.
In addition, there is a MD-PhD Panel podcast which was taped at the NIH on
6/30/09.

The MD-PhD Panel, made up of seasoned directors and administrators outlines the
goals of a MD-PhD program, as well as a discussion of the careers, training and
admissions. There is a Q&A session at the end.
I hope both you and your students will enjoy this new resource.
Best wishes for a fantastic summer,
Ruthie
