Master of Science in Medicine with a subplan in Biomedical Investigation

The goal of the Stanford Berg Scholars Program (Master of Science in Medicine with a subplan in Biomedical Investigation) is to address decreasing numbers of physician-scientists by shortening the training period without compromising quality of research, focusing instead on individualized career development of our M.D.-only physician-scientists by placing them in outstanding research groups led by experienced faculty.

Berg Scholars must complete all Stanford University requirements for the Master in Science (M.S.) in Medicine in Biomedical Investigation while pursuing their M.D. Students must adhere to the University’s residency requirements. Units may not be duplicated or double-counted toward the residency requirement for both degrees. Students must complete the master’s degree requirements within three years of the first graduate quarter of the M.S.
