The aMD Accelerated MD Program at the T.H. Chan School of Medicine is designed for a select group of learners committed to a career in one of the following generalist specialties: Family Medicine, Internal Medicine or Pediatrics; and who seek to accelerate the path through medical training (or to residency).
Interested students can attend an information session in the first few weeks after enrollment; applications will be accepted in the fall of the first semester for students to begin in the spring.
If you have any questions regarding the aMD, please contact the Director of the Accelerated MD Program, Mark Vining MD, at Mark.Vining@umassmemorial.org.
“As UMass Chan is consistently well ranked in primary care education, the accelerated program provides a fast track to my goal of providing high-quality, community-level care. Before most of my class, I got impactful clinical experience by completing my family medicine clerkship at Barre Family Health Center between my first and second year.”
Jason Denoncourt,aMD student
The accelerated MD is designed for “students who arrive with a clear career goal in mind. This program is an opportunity for them to fast-track their medical education and residency training, saving time and resources.”
Patricia Seymour, MD’07 Associate professor of family medicine & community health and assistant dean for clinical curriculum in the Office of Undergraduate Medical Education
“It’s like a pipeline. If you get accepted, you’re integrated into the residency program of your choice that accepts you. You start seeing patients and having clinical experiences right in the first year.”
Mark Vining, MD Associate professor of pediatrics and accelerated MD program director
