Develop the knowledge and skill to diagnose and treat your patients’ illnesses or injuries.
Earn a combined Bachelor of Science from MCPHS and a Doctor of Medicine (MD) from St. George’s University (SGU) School of Medicine in just seven years. This professional pathway prepares you to progress to medical school after just three years of rigorous undergraduate study on the MCPHS Boston campus. You’ll then spend the next two years at SGU and the final two years in clinical rotations at affiliated hospitals. With this collaborative program, third-year students in the Pre-Medical and Health Studies major, the Medical and Molecular Biology major, and all graduates of MCPHS, may be admitted to medical school. The program begins in the fall.
Program Graduation Outcomes
Students can enter the pathway program up until the last semester of their junior year if 4+4. All other students who have graduated from MCPHS are eligible to apply directly to SGU School of Medicine through their standard application process. All majors are eligible for this option.
3 + 4 Pathway
Very high-achieving high school students, who are admitted into the Bachelor of Science in Premedical Health Studies or Medical and Molecular Biology programs, have the opportunity to apply for the accelerated 3 + 4 option, in which students begin medical school after their third year of undergraduate study at MCPHS. After completing medical school at SGU, students receive both a B.S. and M.D. degree in seven years instead of eight.
MCPHS will review your academic record through the documents included in your MCPHS application. You have the option of sending in additional documents (new grades, recent internships, additional recommendations). All documents submitted to MCPHS will be shared with SGU and go on to a selection committee. You may be invited to an interview.
If selected, you will receive a conditional letter of admission from SGU, reserving your seat in an accredited medical school right out of high school.
