Students who are interested in continuing their combined studies enroll in the Medical or Postgraduate School through the Admissions Committee, in the case of the Faculty of Medicine; and the department and dean in the case of a graduate school.

The combined degree has many advantages as it saves a certain amount of time in the overall length of the process of obtaining the two degrees. However, the main advantage is that the student is simultaneously involved in basic laboratory science and research and in medical studies, and after graduation has knowledge that is up-to-date and current in these areas, and moreover, he has arrived at a point of independent contribution and creativity in basic medical sciences.
