MD/MSCR PORTAL Program Admissions

The Patient-Oriented Research Training and Leadership (PORTAL) program is a highly selective dual degree program for students or working professionals that have substantial clinical or translational research experience. Through our multidisciplinary approach, you will obtain a dual MD/MSCR (Master of Science in Clinical Research) degree and gain rigorous didactic and practical training in the field of clinical investigation.

Application Requirements

Applications to the MD/MSCR PORTAL program will be accepted from our first-year class of medical students during January/February of that year. An information session led by PORTAL program leadership detailing admission requirements and application best practices will be held in the Fall of each year. Successful applicants will begin the program during their second year at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
