Who Can Apply
Students admitted to the MD program at URSMD should apply through the Department of Health Humanities & Bioethics using the same review process as the standalone MS.
Good academic standing in the MD program is required to begin and to continue in the MS. Students who complete the summer graduate seminars but are unable to continue may be eligible to receive an Advanced Certificate in Health Humanities.
Admissions Requirements
Applicants complete the same departmental review as the standalone MS and submit:
- An online application
- Statement of purpose
- Writing sample
- Letters of recommendation*
- Official transcripts*
- Confirmation of admission to and matriculation in the URSMD MD program*
*Letters of recommendation, official transcripts, and confirmation of admission to and matriculation in the URSMD MD program will be collected from AMCAS® applications.
How to Apply
Candidates apply through the Department of Health Humanities & Bioethics using the same review process as the standalone MS. Because the combined degree is open only to matriculated MD students, applicants must already hold MD admission at URSMD.
