According to Dr. John Yoo, the dean of Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry at Western University, the MD+ program is a student-focused strategic opportunity that the university created to address its students’ needs.
Western’s new program aims to allow med students to pursue a highly individualized approach to their education, with new options to explore interdisciplinary learning that will support their future success.
Under the MD+ program, medical students have four different pathways that they can choose from to pursue graduate training in a wide variety of subjects: concurrent, course-based, thesis-based, or international.
Western’s offerings include basic sciences, public health, global health management, space studies, the history of medicine, music performance, and business, with additional programs being developed.
Since pursuing graduate training during and after residency is an arduous process, Western University has created a program that addresses the challenges, all while broadening new possibilities for the students.
