Integrated Undergraduate/Medical Doctorate Program
The Integrated Undergraduate/Medical Doctorate (IUMD) Program is the result of a partnership between the Schreyer Honors College (SHC) and the Penn State College of Medicine (COM). It allows a Schreyer Scholar (1) the opportunity to integrate any appropriate Penn State baccalaureate degree – a bachelor of science (BS) or a bachelor of arts (BA) – with a professional program in medicine leading to a doctorate in medicine (MD). The IUMD Program is designed exclusively for Schreyer Scholars who have definite plans for a career in medical practice. A student is encouraged to apply for IUMD status if she/he has a particularly outstanding academic record and would be planning to take advanced-level courses in later semesters or consider early admission to medical school even without IUMD status. Successful applicants are students whose general education progress and academic plans indicate a readiness to forge ahead toward the goal of practicing medicine; and who are ready for the particular challenges of medical education, medical research, and the advancement of knowledge in health care. Applications must be completed during the 4th semester of study. Up to ten qualified Scholars per year will be approved by the SHC and by the COM for the opportunity.
