<p>Hello,</p>

<p>John Dorian in scrubs =)</p>
<p>I think it stands for jurist doctor. Lawyers get this degree after 3 years in high school. I've never heard of UPenn having a program like that. Being a doctor and a lawyer.. How is that possible?</p>
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>Couldn't comment on the duration of this program but MD/JDs do exist. They can work either with FDA in Public Health Policy or in Regulatory area.</p>
<p>Other options are in Pharmaceutical companies or Insurance companies that support healthcare.</p>
<p>Oh, and it's not four years. It's six.</p>
<p>J.D. stands for Juris Doctor (i.e., doctorate in jurisprudence).</p>
