该计划适用于希望有更多时间参与基准研究并增加其生物化学背景的医学生。双学位课程对医学院课程中的某些班级进行了双重计算（如MSTP程序中所述），因此MS仅需要完成9个小时的正式班级工作。其次，一年的时间专门用于研究，并由该部门支付学费和医疗费。此外，从顾问的研究补助金中为学生提供了15,000的津贴。因此，这额外的一年不应该给学生任何费用。
This program is for medical students who would like extra time to participate in bench research and to add to their background in biochemistry. The dual degree program double counts some classes from the medical school curriculum (as is done in the MSTP program) so that only 9 additional hours of formal class work needs to be accomplished for the MS. Secondly, one full year is devoted to research with tuition and health fees paid by the department. Additionally, a stipend of 15,000 is provided for the student from the advisor's research grant. Thus, there should be no cost to the student for this additional year.
