About the University


For nearly 200 years, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS) has been educating future healthcare leaders. Our singular focus on healthcare and broad portfolio of undergraduate and graduate healthcare programs uniquely positions us to provide an innovative, interprofessional collaborative education that better prepares students to join the integrative team-based care models of today’s healthcare system. Deep-rooted relationships with prestigious medical and research institutions in Boston’s Longwood Medical Area, across New England and around the globe enable students to gain the most effective clinical and non-clinical experiences available.

About the program


As a physician, you have the power to lead your patients’ healthcare by diagnosing and treating their injuries or illnesses. This 7-year pathway allows you to begin your education focused on your career goals, progress into Medical School after only 3 years of undergraduate study, and be prepared to start treating patients on the first day of your new career. 

In this professional pathway, academically motivated international students have the opportunity to earn a combined Bachelor of Science from MCPHS and a Doctor of Medicine (MD) from St. George’s University (SGU) School of Medicine. At MCPHS, you’ll receive a challenging baccalaureate curriculum that prepares you for professional study. You’ll spend the next two years of medical study at SGU, and the final two years in clinical rotations at affiliated hospitals in the United States and/or the United Kingdom, preparing you to become a medical doctor. With this joint program, 3rd-year students in the Pre-Medical and Health studies major, or the Medical and Molecular Biology major, as well as all graduates of MCPHS, can be admitted to medical school.

If you are interested in Veterinary Medicine, please contact us for information on our BS/DVM collaboration agreement with St. George’s University School of Veterinary Medicine.

On top of the in-class experience, you’re in clinical three days each week, so you really get a chance to perfect your diagnostic technique in real-world situations. My clinical work is on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. It’s very hands-on, which is great. Plus it’s really professional. It’s like practicing for a job interview the whole time you’re there.

Dedicated to the success of every student

Students at MCPHS are professionally focused and driven, and represent almost every state in the U.S. and dozens of foreign countries. MCPHS not only enjoys a rich diversity in our student body, but also offers a rich diversity of healthcare programs, paralleling the interdisciplinary team approach in modern healthcare institutions.

Experience in the world’s finest healthcare institutions

Our students have access to the most sought-after internships, clinical placements and research opportunities right in our own backyard. From the leading hospitals in central Massachusetts and New Hampshire to Boston’s world-class Longwood Medical and Academic Area, our students gain valuable, real-world experience in institutions, including the #1 pediatric hospital in the country and New England’s top-ranked cancer treatment center, to name a few.

Faculty focused on our students

Unlike research institutions, our faculty are focused on one thing: teaching. Our distinguished full-time faculty are fellows of national academies and have served as presidents of national professional associations. They are editors of medical journals, investigators on federally funded research projects, and business leaders. Above all, they are mentors to our students, highly available and supportive.
