Below: Dr. Hemenway speaks to a group of Xavier
Undergraduate students about the M.D./Ph.D. Program and about the
new P.S.P. Program over lunch.
 The
Graduate School permits transfer of 24 credit hours. These 24 hours
can be comprised of Medical School coursework, including the Medical
School Biochemistry course. In order to fulfill the other 24 hours
of required course work, the following schedule is proposed:
| First
Year of Study |
| |
| In
the Spring semester of the first year of Medical School, students
enroll in 2 credit hours of MCBP 713 and 2 credit hours of MCBP
799 Research. The elective time scheduled in the Medical School
curriculum in the Spring will permit this. Students may opt
to take an additional rotation, i.e. enroll in MCBP 713 for
an additional 2 credit hours instead of enrolling in MCBP 799,
if they have not identified a Dissertation Adviser. The Dissertation
Adviser should be identified by the Summer following the first
year of study.
Fall:
open Spring: MCBP 713 (2), MCBP 799 (2), or MCBP 713 (4)
Summer:
Research
|
|
| |
| Second
Year of Study |
| |
|
Students
will take 4 hours of Research (MCBP 799) during the second
year, where once again the Medical School elective slots in
the schedule permit this.
Fall:
MCBP 799 (2) Spring: MCBP 799 (2)
Summer:
Research
|
|
| |
|
Third
Year of Study
|
| |
|
Students
will be required to take MCBP 607 and GBCH 718 to fulfill
molecular and cellular biology core course requirements, and
the MCB graduate student seminar and journal club.
Fall:
MCBP 607 (4), MCBP 710 (1), MCBP 714 (1), and MCBP 799 (2)
Spring: GBCH 718 (4), MCBP 711 (1), MCBP 715 (1), and MCBP
799 (2
Summer:
Research
The
General (Preliminary) Examination must be completed by the
beginning of the fourth year of study.

| Fourth

Medical
School
|
|

| Fifth
Year of Study |
| |
| Complete
Ph.D. Research |
|
| |
| Sixth
Year of Study |
| |
| Medical
School |
| |
| Students
may also enter the MD/PhD program following the first year of
study, but it should be emphasized that these students may need
more time to complete the Ph.D. component than the six year
framework suggests. Students who start in the Spring of the
second year will enroll in MCBP713 for 2 credits and MCBP799
for 2 credits. The Dissertation Adviser should be identified
by the Summer of the second year of study. In the third year
of study 2 additional hours of research credit and/or individual
study credit will be required in both the Fall and Spring semesters
in order to fulfill the requirement for 24 hours of course work. |
