Although earning an M.D. at the Duke University School of Medicine takes the traditional four years, students’ class training is condensed into the first three. The fourth year is for elective rotations in which students can tailor their education to their interests. Students can also complete a dual master’s degree during their fourth year, including an M.B.A., M.P.H., or Master of Science. Through the Medical Scientist Training Program, students can earn a joint M.D./Ph.D. in seven to eight years. There is also a joint M.D./J.D. program through the Duke School of Law.
The Duke Clinical Research Institute is the oldest and largest academic organization of its kind, and the School of Medicine is awarded more than $400 million for sponsored research. There are about 30 centers and institutes on campus where students can get involved in research projects. The Duke University Medical Center campus in Durham, N.C. is located next to the main campus of the university and is also home to the highly ranked Duke University Medical Center.
Full-time graduate students may apply to live on campus, though priority is given to foreign students enrolling in a school outside their home country for the first time. In addition to its location in Durham, the university runs the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School in Singapore.
