It is possible for a student to pursue a PhD degree in biomedical engineering and the MD degree simultaneously. The combined degree curriculum is a mixture of BME and the life sciences. Some medical school courses may be used to count as life science credit; in addition students will take the required graduate level engineering and statistics courses. At least 45 credits of dissertation research are also required.
The Medical Scientist Training Program is administered through the College of Medicine and the Graduate School. Admission to the Medical Scientist Program requires application to both the Medical School and Graduate Program, but your graduate application will be built from your AMCAS application, courtesy of the MSTP program.
Admission to the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) can be made through one application process. This is initiated through the American Medical College Applications Service (AMCAS). To apply to the MSTP you should designate The Ohio State University on the electronic application, and select Combined Medical Degree/PhD.
Later you will receive an e-mail from the College of Medicine directing you to the web-based secondary application which also serves as your application to the MSTP and to graduate school.
AMCAS applications will be accepted starting June 1 until Nov. 1 of the year prior to anticipated matriculation. No applications are accepted by AMCAS after Nov. 1. The Ohio State University secondary application forms are due 30 days after receipt of the AMCAS application. Early application is strongly encouraged, as MSTP interview slots fill up quickly.
Our Biomedical Engineering graduate program will use the medical school materials to review graduate application file. The only additional item for applicants to provide directly to the Office of Graduate Admissions is an official transcript.
An earned cumulative grade-point average (GPA) equivalent to at least 3.0 out of 4.0 in all previous undergraduate college-level course work is required by the OSU Graduate School. Students should apply to be admitted for the summer term.
Although all of these criteria are taken into account, particular emphasis is placed on research experience. If an applicant is not admitted to the MSTP but still wishes to pursue a PhD in BME, please contact the BME Graduate Studies Chair at [email protected].

Current MSTP students may find it helpful to speak with faculty who have mentored BME MSTP students in the past to get a sense of how best to organize one’s time and efforts. The workload and timing may look different for those not on a solo PhD path. For BME MSTP referrals, contact the graduate studies coordinator at [email protected].
Admitted MD/PhD students will be assigned a BME core faculty contact to help with BME rules and culture. This will be an especially important relationship if the student’s research advisor is external to BME. Students are urged to plan well with their advisors and core faculty contacts, to follow all instructions sent by the MSTP program, and to read all reminders sent by the BME program. Most important, students should follow-up on changes in their funding appointments well in advance of each semester to make sure everything is in place ahead of time. The BME Grad Coordinator often can help point students in the right direction to be proactive and productive about planning for appointment changes.

Students interested in completing more than one graduate degree may be interested in our MD/PhD, dual MBA/MS or joint JD/PHD/MS programs. Please contact [email protected] for questions regarding any of the below programs.
Students interested in a career-oriented toward bioengineering and medicine can pursue the combined MD/PhD program. Stanford provides two ways to earn an MD/PhD:
The PhD degree is administered by the Department of Bioengineering. To be formally admitted as a PhD degree candidate in this combined degree program, the student must apply through normal departmental channels and must have earned or have plans to earn an MS in bioengineering or another engineering discipline at Stanford or another university. The MS requires 45 units of coursework, which consists of core bioengineering courses, technical electives, seminars and 6 unrestricted units. In addition, students will be expected to pass the Department of Bioengineering PhD qualifying examination. For students fulfilling the full MD requirements who earned their master’s-level engineering degree at Stanford, the Department of Bioengineering will waive its normal departmental requirement that the 15 units applied toward the PhD degree (beyond the master’s degree level) be formal course work. Consistent with the university’s PhD requirements, the department will instead accept 15 units comprised of courses, research or seminars that are approved by the student’s academic advisor and the department chair. Students not completing their MS engineering degree at Stanford will be required to take 15 units of formal course work in engineering-related areas, as determined by their academic advisor.
Stanford offers the opportunity to pursue a dual MS/MBA, which combines its world-leading programs in engineering and business. Admitted students fulfill the degree requirements for each degree with advising from BioE and GSB. Students may choose to pursue the dual MS/MBA concurrently or consecutively.
Candidates interested in pursuing the dual MS/MBA must apply to and be accepted by the other program separately, then notify the BioE program or GSB. Candidates may apply concurrently to both programs or apply to the dual degree program during the first year as an MBA or MS student.
For more information about applying to the MBA and BioE MS program, please consult the MBA admissions website and BioE graduate admissions website.
The School of Law and the Department of Bioengineering offer joint programs leading to either a JD degree combined with an MS degree in Bioengineering or to a JD combined with a PhD in Bioengineering.
The JD/MS and JD/PhD degree programs are designed for students who wish to prepare themselves intensively for careers in areas relating to both law and bioengineering. Students interested in either joint degree program must apply and gain entrance separately to the School of Law and the Department of Bioengineering and, as an additional step, must secure permission from both academic units to pursue degrees in those units as part of a joint degree program. Interest in either joint degree program should be noted on the student’s admission applications and may be considered by the admission committee of each program. Alternatively, an enrolled student in either the Law School or the Bioengineering Department may apply for admission to the other program and for joint degree status in both academic units after commencing study in either program.
Joint degree students may elect to begin their course of study in either the School of Law or the Department of Bioengineering. Faculty advisers from each academic unit will participate in the planning and supervising of the student’s joint program. Students must be enrolled full time in the Law School for the first year of law school, and, at some point during the joint program, may be required to devote one or more quarters largely or exclusively to studies in the Bioengineering program regardless of whether enrollment at that time is in the Law School or the Department of Bioengineering. At all other times, enrollment may be in the graduate school or the Law School, and students may choose courses from either program regardless of where enrolled. Students must satisfy the requirements for both the JD and the MS or PhD degrees as specified in the Stanford Bulletin or elsewhere.
The Law School shall approve courses from the Bioengineering Department that may count toward the JD degree, and the Bioengineering Department shall approve courses from the Law School that may count toward the MS or PhD degree in Bioengineering. In either case, approval may consist of a list applicable to all joint degree students or may be tailored to each student’s program. The lists may differ depending on whether the student is pursuing an MS or a PhD in Bioengineering.
In the case of a JD/MS program, no more than 45 units of approved courses may be counted toward both degrees. In the case of a JD/PhD program, no more than 54 units of approved courses may be counted toward both degrees. In either case, no more than 36 units of courses that originate outside the Law School may count toward the law degree. To the extent that courses under this joint degree program originate outside of the Law School but count toward the law degree, the Law School credits permitted under Section 17(1) of the Law School Regulations shall be reduced on a unit-per-unit basis, but not below zero.
The maximum number of Law School credits that may be counted toward the MS or PhD in Bioengineering is the greater of: (i) 15 units; or (ii) the maximum number of units from courses outside of the department that MS or PhD candidates in Bioengineering are permitted to count toward the applicable degree under general departmental guidelines or in the case of a particular student’s individual program. Tuition and financial aid arrangements will normally be through the school in which the student is then enrolled.

Students in the Johns Hopkins Department of Biomedical Engineering’s Design Team program have developed a new tool for improving the assessment of damaged nerves during surgery.
The innovation is a set of electrodes designed to work without having to move or lift the nerve during evaluation, promising to reduce patient injury and inaccurate readings.
Their work appears in the Web of Science indexed journal Healthcare .
“The tangible effects of our innovation contribute to a streamlined neurosurgical workflow, mitigate the risk of patient injury, and better inform treatment decision-making. Overall, this will help decrease patient recovery time and maximize peripheral nerve regeneration and recovery,” said Nathaniel Riemann ENGR ’23, the paper’s lead author.
A peripheral nerve injury occurs when nerves are crushed or stretched during physical trauma. To assess this injury, surgeons insert electrodes into the body, noting whether the injured nerves respond to a small electrical pulse. If they do, this indicates that the nerve is still functional and can regenerate on its own. The absence of a signal tells the surgeon that the nerve will not be able to regenerate, and that surgery is required.
The current method requires that neurosurgeons physically pull the injured nerve from the wound site for assessment using a device about the size of an extra-long pencil with large, insulated metal hooks.
But the lifting of the nerve increases the risk of further injury and can distort the electrode-recorded signal, making it difficult for the surgical team to determine if surgery is necessary. “This approach can have irreversible consequences on the patient outcome,” said Riemann.
To understand how peripheral nerve injury is assessed and the drawbacks of the current process, the Design Team observed the neurosurgical procedure at Johns Hopkins Hospital. They collected data on the procedure, including the timing and sequence of each step, the operating room floor layout, and the instruments used.
The team also received a grant from the Biomedical Engineering Innovation, Design, and Entrepreneurship Alliance (BME IDEA), to travel to Santiago, Chile to visit La Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. There the team was able to tap into the technical expertise of faculty and partners at TrainFES, a local startup company focused on neurorehabilitation.
Seeing how the faculty in Chile and TrainFES tackled similar engineering challenges helped the team develop their final solution: an electrode design with an improved nerve securement feature that has a “sandwich” or “chopstick”-like style that makes the procedure less invasive for patients. The device handle also has an index finger-adjusted linear sliding mechanism to open and close the electrode clamp around the nerve. Their solution allows the procedure to be completed by one surgeon as opposed to several, which is the current process.
A major challenge was making an easy-to-use device; especially because — as their clinical mentor Dr. Allan Belzberg advised them — the task of isolating and assessing a peripheral nerve in the surgical field is as challenging as trying to wrap the device around wet spaghetti inside of a purse. Their final design “heavily considers the end user more prominently in all steps of the design process,” said Riemann.
Impacted by this experience, Riemann is now pursuing a MD/PhD at The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and plans to focus on translational medical device development.
“Design Team experience was pivotal in my understanding of where my ambitions, interests, and aptitudes intersect, leading to the beginning of my MD/PhD training. It has also given me a much deeper appreciation for each of these respective fields, and especially for the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration that can yield the most impactful solutions to real-world needs,” Riemann said.
Additional co-authors from Hopkins BME include seniors Jack Coursen, Xin-Hua (Katie) Liang and Laura Elena Porras; master’s student Bryan Sabogal; graduate student Lily Zhu; alums Christian Guaraca Engr ’23 (MSE), Samantha Weed Engr ’22; and Constanza Miranda, associate teaching professor.
Allan Belzberg, professor of neurological surgery, Matthias Ringkamp, associate professor of neurological surgery, and Gang Wu, assistant professor of neurological surgery, served as authors and clinical mentors that played a critical role in the making the project possible.
