Dual Degree Programs

We are committed to educating physicians prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

Why a dual degree?

We are committed to preparing doctors to contribute to the future of medicine. Dual degree programs help expand your skill set, giving you more opportunities to influence individuals, communities, the health care system and our broader society for the better. Combining a second degree with your medical education helps you experience health through the lens of diverse disciplines including the humanities, business, policy, public health and other diverse disciplines. You can graduate with special knowledge and perspective that will serve you well throughout your medical career as you serve, teach and lead.
