The Weill Cornell/Rockefeller/Sloan Kettering Tri-Institutional MD-PhD Program is one of the oldest and largest programs in the country. In addition, it is the only program in the country where three institutions combine to form one MD-PhD Program.

All students receive their MD training at the Weill Cornell Medical College. Their PhD research may be conducted at the Weill Cornell Graduate School, The Rockefeller University, or Gerstner Sloan Kettering. All of the institutions are located across the street from one another on the Upper East Side of New York City . Having access to all three institutions means the students have access to over 250 laboratories and a large network of hospitals and specialty care centers, including NewYork Presbyterian, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and the Hospital for Special Surgery.
