MD/PhD Programs in the Social Sciences & Humanities

Welcome to the Social Science and Humanities (SSH) MD/PhD Programs website!

This site developed from a call by students and applicants for a centralized place housing all the information on SSH MD/PhD programs. With the help of students throughout the United States, we have gathered information on 11 SSH MD/PhD programs. For each program, we provide an individualized webpage written by a student or alum of the program. The information is geared towards applicants, with information focused on the application process, program structure, funding, affiliated graduate departments, etc.

Elsewhere in the APSA website, we will provide information on residencies and post docs for SSH MD/PhDs, job postings, a directory of SSH MD/PhD students, extramural funding for SSH training, interdisciplinary awards, and more! These pages are currently in development. If you have any ideas of information that would be useful to you, please write us at ssh@physicianscientists.org.

We hope you find this information useful and we look forward to hearing your suggestions and comments!

Enjoy!
