The B.S.-M.D. program is a cooperative program between the
Colleges of Medicine and Arts and Sciences. It allows a limited
number of students who enroll in the College of Arts and
Sciences immediately after high school to complete requirements
for both the B.S. and M.D. degrees in six years, instead
of the customary eight years.
The Howard University College of Medicine and the Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences jointly offer an M.D.-Ph.D. Program.
The eight graduate departments that currently award the Ph.D.
in this program are anatomy, biochemistry and molecular biology,
biology, chemistry, genetics and human genetics, microbiology,
pharmacology, and physiology and biophysics. This new integrated
program draws on the strong history of medical education
at Howard University and provides courses and seminars that
prepare students for leadership roles as clinicians, scientists,
and scholars. Each of these departments has many years of
experience in successfully training Ph.D. professionals who
are much sought after in academia, industry, research institutes
and various service agencies. For more information or for
an application, contact:
Dr. Verle Headings,
Director,
Howard University, College of Medicine,
520 'W' Street. N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20059,

Student exchange opportunities are available to fourth-year
medical students from other U.S. and Canadian medical schools
which are accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical
Education. Clinical electives provide a special opportunity
for the College's students to enjoy contact with other medical
students in the course of their clinical training. Students
must be adequately immunized and also have health and malpractice
insurance.

Six training programs leading
to the Master of Science and/or Doctor of Philosophy degree
are available in the College of Medicine. These degrees
are offered through programs in anatomy, human genetics,
microbiology, biochemistry, pharmacology and physiology.
For admission and specific degree requirements, students
should consult the Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences.
The College provides a comprehensive program of student
academic support services. This program is administered by
the Office of Medical Education, which schedules informal,
small-group, and individual tutorials during the regular
academic year. These sessions are intended to enable freshman
and sophomore medical students to improve their performance
in the required subjects by frequent review and discussion.
In addition, workshops aid students in acquiring techniques
of organizing information for individual review and content
analysis and in the development of critical thinking skills.
These workshops are offered during freshman orientation and
during the regular academic year.
