WelcomeToday’s health care and health sciences environment provides a compelling argument for combining a medical degree with a PhD in a basic sciences discipline. Investigation into such areas as immuno-suppressive diseases, cancer, genetic diseases, neuroscience, biomedical engineering, drug design, and infectious diseases increasingly demands a deeper understanding of the mechanism of pathogenesis and a more direct link between clinical medicine and basic research. Also, the prevalence of team-oriented, collaborative research requires that investigators have the capacity to integrate the clinical and basic science aspects of medicine. Graduates of the MD/PhD program are uniquely prepared to become leaders in biomedical research and academic medicine.The MD/PhD program at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School offers the opportunity for PhD studies at any one of the three cooperating institutions: RWJMS, Princeton University or Rutgers University. The RWJMS/Rutgers/Princeton MD/PhD Program offers a unique multi-institutional environment with traditional and non-traditional PhD options. We welcome inquires about our program, the many options avalable to students and the interactions between our institutions, faculty and students. Terri Goss Kinzy, PhD Praxedes Dominguez
