What are the benefits of participating in the NIH Intramural MD/PhD Partnership program?
GPP Students enrolled in combined degree training will receive the enhanced curriculum offered to M.D./Ph.D students at their medical school, which often include coursework and seminars designed for combined degree trainees, as well as modified clinical rotation requirements. At NIH a number of activities have been set up for combined-degree trainees. Students accepted to MSTP-funded MD/PhD programs and the NIH Intramural MD/PhD Partnership will receive tuition and stipend benefits in most cases equivalent to traditional MD/PhD students, which involves full tuition waiver and a stipend similar to that of Ph.D. trainees for the duration of MD/PhD training.
