Program Overview
Students begin the combined degree program in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine and spend the first three years in the MD program. Applications to the MD/MBA program are welcomed from MD students entering the Fall of their third year. Successful applicants enter the first year of the Full-Time MBA program in September of their fourth year, leaving the MD program for 12 months. In the fifth year students return to the MD program for the Fall term. The Winter term of the fifth year offers a combination of coursework and electives from both programs.
The MD/MBA FT CPD is designed such that the requirements can be completed in five years rather than the six years it would take to acquire the degrees independently, as follows:
