Bachelor of Science in Premedical Health Studies - Medicine Pathway (BS/MD)

As a physician, you have the power to lead your patients’ healthcare by diagnosing and treating their injuries or illnesses. This 7-year pathway allows you to begin your education focused on your career goals, progress into Medical School after only 3 years of undergraduate study, and be prepared to start treating patients on the first day of your new career.

In this professional pathway, academically motivated international students have the opportunity to earn a combined Bachelor of Science from MCPHS and a Doctor of Medicine (MD) from St. George’s University (SGU) School of Medicine. At MCPHS, you’ll receive a challenging baccalaureate curriculum that prepares you for professional study. You’ll spend the next two years of medical study at SGU, and the final two years in clinical rotations at affiliated hospitals in the United States and/or the United Kingdom, preparing you to become a medical doctor. With this joint program, 3rd-year students in the Pre-Medical and Health studies major, or the Medical and Molecular Biology major, as well as all graduates of MCPHS, can be admitted to medical school.
