Un « MD-PhD program » au sein de l'Université de Lyon.

Objectives: To provide an overview of the MD-PhD programs, which allow American students to obtain a PhD in science and a license to practice medicine, and to propose the development of a related course profile at Université de Lyon. Analysis: The MD-PhD programs train research physicians in a relatively short time frame. They meet the initial objectives set in the USA and in the countries where they work. To accommodate the first French MD-PhD program, the Université de Lyon offers suitable education and research facilities, including the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon and the medical schools at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1.
