How long does it take most MD-PhD students to complete both degrees?
The average time to complete both degrees has been 7.5 years for some time now, although there seems to be a bit of a drift upwards. The typical student is taking 7 or 8 years to finish. An occasional student completes everything in 6 years, but I worry that they are not getting full benefit from their research time when they do that. Some students take more than 8. Our goal is 7 or 8 years. More information about our curriculum is also available on the website.
