Does the M.D./Ph.D. Scholars Program sponsor additional social or educational activities?
The M.D./Ph.D. Scholars Program holds monthly meetings where a UNMC physician presents a medical case study with potential research applications. This allows students to work through real life medical situations in a group setting while receiving instruction from physicians on how to approach common medical problems. Although not required by the program, access to national conferences and meetings for M.D./Ph.D. students is provided. There are also social gatherings for the Scholars at a variety of Omaha venues throughout the year. Additional social events sponsored by the Program are currently being evaluated by the Directors and Scholars, and additional information will be posted once available.
