PG Upgradation programs are offered by very few universities in American countries.

About MD MS Program

The MD/MS Program is a tutor-based program where students are trained by research professionals on modern enhancements that have been performed in the healthcare industry. The M.D./M.S. program is designed for people who intend to pursue clinical practice and want to develop research skills in a related engineering area. It is also well suited for students who wants to better understand the types of technology they will employ as a practicing physicians. This program provides a funded research experience in engineering that is expected to lead towards a research publication and provides practice in engineering design and analysis.[1]

Eligibility for the program

Candidates appeared/passed out in DNB exams, Doctors with PG Diploma/Degree can study PG upgrading program. The entire course is developed as mentor-based, where the learners should go through their coaching under their selected guides & their recommended medical center. The course is mostly online and distance so that doctors can study without leaving their job.

Duration of MD MS program

Requirements for the combined MD and Master's degrees are equivalent to those of the separate degrees of the Doctor of Medicine of the School of Medicine and the specific Master's degree of Graduate School at each campus. The dual degree program can usually be completed within five to six years.[2]

Evaluation

Evaluation of the course is assessed by the guide & university through thesis/dissertation submitted by the student based on their research project done.

Master Degree Programs

Biomedical Informatics (BMI) applies statistical techniques and technologies to the medical and health sciences.[3]

Epidemiology involves the study of disease — and predisposing conditions for disease — among human populations in all parts of the world, with an emphasis on approaches to improving levels of health. The MS Program in Epidemiology is presented by the Department of Health Research and Policy (HRP) at the School of Medicine.[4]

Health Services Research (HSR) is concerned with the analysis of health policy in the public and private sectors. The MS Program in HSR is part of the Department of Health Research and Policy (HRP) at the School of Medicine.[5]

Masters of Medicine (MOM) serious exposure to clinical medicine with a view to fostering translational research. Students who pursue the MS in Medicine while engaged in their doctoral programs will be highly knowledgeable about human biology and disease, and thus more able to translate scientific discoveries into useful medical advances.[6]

Masters of Human Genetics and Genetic Counseling is a program that trains students to understand the molecular, clinical and psychological implications of differences in the human genome, and to translate these intricacies to health care professionals, laboratory researchers and patients/families. Graduates of this program will be eligible for board certification by the American Board of Genetic Counseling.[7]
