Medical Students in the dual degree program usually take a year off between their third and fourth medical school years to complete all or most of the coursework and fulfill the Practicum requirement for the Bioethics Masters degree. Any remaining Practicum coursework can be completed concurrently with their 4th year clinical clerkships.

The program expects that the vast majority of graduate students will secure off-campus housing, which is generally cheaper and more flexible than NYU housing. The NYU Office of Off-Campus Housing can help newly admitted students navigate the New York City rental market.
