Accelerated 3-Year MD Program

The Rutgers New Jersey Medical School Accelerated 3-Year MD Program is offered to students who have already been accepted to the traditional 4-year MD program.

This accelerated program is ideal for students who have demonstrated academic excellence, clinical experiences in a primary care setting and community health or leadership experiences. It aims to address the national shortage of primary care physicians and particularly the needs of the communities we serve. This program allows students who have a strong interest in a primary care career to complete their MD degree in an accelerated 3-year program of study while also gaining conditional acceptance into Rutgers-sponsored primary care residency programs. Program highlights include:

  • Early Clinical Immersion
  • Longitudinal Primary Care Preceptorship
  • Health Systems and Population Health Certificate and Experiential Program

Students will be required to choose one of the following primary care specialty tracks at the time of application to the accelerated program:

  • Internal Medicine
  • Med-Peds (Combined Internal Medicine/Pediatrics)
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Pediatrics
  • Psychiatry
