Students selected to participate in the program will have some designated opportunities through the Baptist Memorial Health Care system during their first and second year, and participants will execute their year three and year four clerkships at one of Baptist's 22 hospitals. In subsequent years the program can increase up to 50 students in the Baptist-NYITCOM cohort.

Students are selected for the Baptist Memorial Health Care Partnership program in January of their first year of medical school. Information sessions about the Baptist Memorial Health Care Partnership program will be offered in the fall for interested students.

Step 6: D.O./PH.D. IN MEDICAL AND BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES (OPTIONAL)

The purpose of the D.O./Ph.D. program is to develop well trained osteopathic physician-scientists through a comprehensive curriculum that integrates medicine and the life sciences, delivered through a combination of medical school and graduate school courses combined with in-depth research experiences. NYITCOM expects to admit two to three students per year to the combined D.O./Ph.D. program and is committed to providing the students with financial support for all years. The curriculum and training of students will utilize a standard 2–3/4–2 model in which the admitted students will pursue their medical education in years 1–2 (preclinical) and in years 6–7 (clinical). Ph.D. training will take place in years 3–5/6, as well as over the summers. If interested in applying to the D.O./Ph.D. program, required materials are listed below.
