Οι σπουδαστές που σχεδιάζουν τη σταδιοδρομία τους ως ιατρικοί επιστήμονες (medical scientists-αντίστοιχο του biomedical scientists στην Ευρώπη) θα πρέπει να επιδιώκουν την απόκτηση ενός πτυχίου πανεπιστημίου σε μια βιολογική επιστήμη.Οι περισσότεροι ιατρικοί επιστήμονες χρειάζονται ένα Ph.D. στις βιολογικές επιστήμες. Ιατρικοί επιστήμονες τόσο με διδακτορική διατριβή και ή με MD είναι πιθανό να έχουν τις καλύτερες ευκαιρίες στην αντίστοιχη αγορά εργασίας.

Training, Other Qualifications, and Advancement About this section
A Ph.D. in a biological science is the minimum education required for most prospective medical scientists. However, some medical scientists also earn medical degrees in order to perform clinical work. A period of postdoctoral work in the laboratory of a senior researcher is becoming increasingly common for medical scientists.
Education and training. A Ph.D. in the biological sciences typically qualifies people to research basic life processes or particular medical problems and to analyze the results of experiments. Some medical scientists obtain a medical degree, instead of a Ph.D., but do not become licensed physicians, because they prefer research to clinical practice. It is particularly helpful for medical scientists to earn both a Ph.D. and a medical degree.
Students planning careers as medical scientists should pursue a bachelor’s degree in a biological science. In addition to required courses in chemistry and biology, undergraduates should study allied disciplines, such as mathematics, engineering, physics, and computer science. General humanities courses are also beneficial, as writing and communication skills are necessary for drafting grant proposals and publishing research results.
Once students have completed undergraduate studies, there are two main paths for prospective medical scientists. They can enroll in a university Ph.D. program in the biological sciences; these programs typically take about 6 years of study, and students specialize in one particular field, such as genetics, pathology, or bioinformatics. They can also enroll in a joint M.D.-Ph.D. program at a medical college; these programs typically take 7 to 8 years of study, where students learn both the clinical skills needed to be a physician and the research skills needed to be a scientist.

1-Most medical scientists need a Ph.D. in a biological science; some also hold a medical degree.
2-Medical scientists involved in cancer research may formulate a combination of drugs that will lessen the effects of the disease. They (medical scientists) can then work with physicians to administer these drugs to patients in clinical trials
3-A Ph.D. in a biological science is the minimum education required for most prospective medical scientists. However, some medical scientists also earn medical degrees in order to perform clinical work.
