UBC’s MD/PhD program is one of the nation’s best and most competitive programs for training future clinician-scientists. Our alumni go on to top-tier residency programs across North America in specialties such as neurosurgery and neuropathology, ophthalmology, internal medicine and radiology, and later establish careers bridging clinical medicine with scientific research. Our program boasts an exceptional student publication record, guaranteed funding for all our students for the entire duration of the program, and outstanding success in external funding applications. In the last three years, we have had 5 CIHR Vanier Scholars, and 6 CIHR Doctoral CanadaGraduate Scholars, valued at $150,000 and $105,000 per student, respectively, just to name a few.
