Great to see Penn continue its legacy as one of the pioneers of interdisciplinary education.
Seems like an odd combo. Overlapping benefit will come more from experience rather than training.
Many universities also have this combo.
Interesting. My cousin, who graduated from Penn eons ago, was a lawyer and later became a psychologist. Not quite the same thing, I realize.
I know of several people who have both an MD and JD. Useful to have the law degree if you want to do something besides clinical medicine.
Is this like a 7 year med program or different? Sorry if this is a stupid question
Not completely positive, but I think it used to be an unstructured program but now it is more of a coordinated effort between Penn med & law that grants you 2 degrees in 6 years.
