PhD Programs

The MD/PhD Program allows students to tailor their educational experience by selecting from mentors and doctoral programs from departments across campus. During the graduate years, MD/PhD students complete requirements as determined by their particular graduate department, including coursework, qualifying exams, and dissertation requirements. Additional information regarding UK's scientific strengths is available here. 

Please note: Due to the highly interdisciplinary nature of the University of Kentucky, faculty and mentors may hold multiple appointments and affiliations across different departments and/or different colleges. In these cases, students should discuss with their prospective mentor about which PhD department to complete the degree.

Please note: this is not an exhaustive list and only includes programs with recent / active students enrolled. For more information about other programs or to be included in this directory, please contact Therese Stearns.
