University of Chicago's MD/PhD Program in Medicine, the Social Sciences, and Humanities (MeSH)

The University of Chicago MD/PhD Program in Medicine, the Social Sciences, and Humanities (MeSH) is now accepting applications for the 2011-2012 academic year. The MeSH program is an MD/PhD program for students interested in pursuing medical training and a PhD in the Social Sciences or Humanities. The program seeks to train innovative physician-scholars who will work at the critical interface of medicine and society. Former students have pursued their PhD in a wide range of fields including: anthropology, conceptual and historical studies in science, economics, public policy and philosophy. Started in 1985, MeSH is one of very few programs of its kind in the country.

Applicants who wish to receive priority consideration should submit their supplemental application by November 1st; the final deadline is December 1st. Please note that applicants must apply to both the Pritzker School of Medicine and the relevant graduate department. Additional information is available on our web site.

Individuals who have already begun medical training are also eligible for consideration for the program. Such individuals are encouraged to contact Mr. Evans for further information.
