Application Process & Admissions

Requirements

Prospective students must apply for admission via the AMCAS application; within that application, indicate interest in the MD/PhD program. Students must meet the standards and prerequisites for admission to the both MD and PhD programs in the Morsani College of Medicine and the University of South Florida. 

View the MD Academic Requirements. 

Candidates will also be evaluated based upon submission of a modified essay, the extent and level of their previous education, awards and honors, other relevant research experience, professional training, and publications and reference letters, considering both the numerical rankings and the text of the letters which will be used to assess a student’s desire and motivation to become a physician-scientist. Competitive applicants will have significant biomedical research experience. 

Effective as of the 2024-2025 cycle, anyone who chooses to apply to the MD-PhD program will ONLY be considered for the MD-PhD program.

Deadlines

The AMCAS application opens in June, and students must apply by November 15 to be considered for the MD/PhD Program. Because admission is rolling, applicants are encouraged to apply early.

Details regarding the MD application and admission process can be found on the MD Admissions website.
