Students who complete the program are awarded an M.D. from Weill Cornell Medical College and a Ph.D. from either Weill Cornell Medicine Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Rockefeller University, or the Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences.
In recent years, the program has pioneered a summer program known as "Gateways to the Laboratory" in order to increase the number of students who are from underrepresented backgrounds in science and medicine.[10] Alumni from this program often matriculate in the Tri-Institutional MD–PhD Program, and make up a significant portion of its class.
