阿尔伯塔大学提供一个对所有学生开放的医学博士、哲学博士专业。 该专业允许学生获得医学博士和哲学博士学位，并准备好从事作为医学研究科学家的职业生涯。 该专业的录取取决于学生已经进入医学博士专业，医学博士、哲学博士委员会的批准，以及获得资金（即研究生，主管支持或外部支持）。 哲学博士通常需要四到六年才能完成（取决于部门），而需要四年才能完成医学博士学位。 一般来说，学生完成医学博士专业的头两年，转入哲学博士专业，哲学博士学位完成后，回到医学博士专业的最后两年。入学要求学生已经完成了专业前期医学课程，通常持有本科学位，研究生学位或从研究生专业（硕士或博士）转学。
The University of Alberta offers a MD/PhD Program that is open to all students. The program allows students to earn both a MD and a PhD degree, and prepares them for a career as a medical-research scientist. Acceptance into the Program is contingent upon the student having already been accepted into the MD Program, approval of the MD/PhD Committee, and on obtaining funding (i.e., a graduate studentship, supervisors support, or external support). The PhD typically takes four to six years to complete (depending upon the department), while four years is required to complete the MD degree. In general, the student completes the first two years of the MD program, transfers into a PhD program, and when the PhD is completed returns to the final two years of the MD program. Admission requires that the student has completed the pre-professional medical program and normally holds a Bachelor\'s degree, a graduate degree, or transfers in from a graduate program (either MSc or PhD).
