"Science
is the topography of ignorance… the best
part of our knowledge is that which teaches
us where knowledge leaves off and ignorance
begins."

M.D. / Ph.D. Scholars program.
Physician-scientists
play a unique role in biomedicine by studying
patients and their diseases. They take observations
from the bedside into the laboratory, make basic
discoveries and translate their discoveries
into new methods for prevention, diagnosis and
treatment of disease. The University of North
Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences
strongly believes that the training of physician-scientists
is critical to the future of medicine.
The
M.D./Ph.D. Scholars Program is designed to prepare
a select group of outstanding students for careers
in academic medicine and research. Students
admitted to this highly competitive program
pursue original research in laboratories and/or
clinical settings with members of the graduate
faculty. They also complete the medical school
curriculum. The integrated training for both
degrees allows a compression of the total academic
effort as some course work can be applied to
both degrees.
