Medical Candidates:
MDs, Medics, Residents,
​​​​​​​Practicing Physicians

The MD Scholar program is open to current third year or rising fourth year medical students, currently residing in the United States. Please note, if you are not interested or accepted in the MD scholar program, we encourage you to apply to our Bridge to BCG Program.  We accept BCG MD Scholar applications on a rolling basis, year-round. Most MD Scholars will begin in February or March (following major clinical year and board exams), so we recommend that you apply by the end of the year. There is some flexibility in timing and exceptions on start-dates and can be discussed on a one-off basis.

Candidates who complete the MD Scholar program successfully for at least one year will be granted one year of medical school tuition. Candidates who complete two years of the MD scholar program will receive one year of medical school tuition and six months tenure credit. Both of these tuition grants are contingent on the candidate returning to BCG after two years of completing the program.

To apply for the MD Scholar program, please complete a full-time application and specify your interest in the MD scholar program and outline your availability in the cover letter of your application. You will be asked to complete our pymetrics games as part of the application process. An email prompt will be sent to after you submit your application, you will have 48 hours to complete the games.  You can view our pymetrics FAQs here.
