Good afternoon and thank you Susan and thank you Chris. Thank you Tim and tell us would like to point out Greg staples here today aggregates the CEO of the American -- -- foundation. I'm here really firm for one reason and one reason only and that is to drive home the point. That Chris and and it -- them or introduce to you today. There's been a revolution and discovery. In America and the last. Three to four years that changes everything. About the way you can think about. How to -- the car organized the world economy do so quickly and do so actually by saving money not -- spending more money. And the company that I co founded twenty years ago called Chesapeake energy corporation. Has been at the forefront. Making these discoveries in the U. We have -- more shale wells -- anybody else not in the world. We're most active -- of any kind of well in the world today about 60% of our production shell gas today and as we go forward. That will increase. Very dramatically. What -- want to also take you through today's that this is not just say discovery. That will change the course of American history but we think you can change the course. But world history as well not only to -- harmonize. The economy. But also to I don't know how quite say -- the. Natural gas reserves we believe are distributed broadly across the globe. And as nations begin to address natural gas not just -- reduce the consumption of coal. But also to reduce consumption of oil I think you'll see some dramatic. Changes in the world. -- today in the future and things that will be good for all of us. So with that just. A few more comments about our company were headquartered in Oakland city. Oklahoma. Again relatively young company twenty years old. Focused exclusively now on developing. Shale reserves of natural gas and what we found. Over the last two years is that we've been able. To take our country from only having about a ten or twenty year supply of natural gas -- over a hundred years. So what's changed since Kyoto and in 1997. In my view. Well certainly what -- not change necessarily is there's been a whole lot of progress. In IndyCar organization. Of the world economy but I think. But certainly has changed is that there is now a broad consensus that action needs to be taken now. And we can't wait another fifteen years to figure out what to do here. As Chris mentioned there are some promising. Technologies on the on the horizon I'm sure we all hope. CCS work someday but it's not available today it's not affordable today it's not scalable today and nobody ever talks about the fact that. A CCS technologies look like they'll consume about fifteen to 20%. The power plants power. Requiring you -- yet more power plants as you go forward solar wind are certainly nice but there intermittent difficult to scale. And then nuclear -- if for no other challenges. It has cost challenges in time challenges. The natural gas available today and so if you go back to Kyoto 1997. He could have easily arrived at the conclusion. The natural gas is good. However you would also concluded. Or learned that gas is scarce and that the world's supply of natural gas was such that she really couldn't. Take it out of its traditional. Uses which work to make chemicals to make plastics make fertilizers to use for residential commercial. Heating and cooling. And at the margin to make electricity is well. It's nice but it's not scale and that's what's changed. In the last 345 years. In in the US and it's this discovery that when you can apply -- new technology of course zone drilling. To a rock. And I'd like for you describe for you what I'm talking about shale. Is the most abundant sedimentary rock -- on earth by some calculations -- that makes it the most abundant. Rock song. Owner threw for decades we've known. That shale is the kitchen of the oil and gas business it's where the hydrocarbons. Are generated in the first place. And then over geological time certainly hundreds of millions of years those hydrocarbons are expelled from the -- formations and trapped. And then we try to go find those small little traps. And and produce those hydrocarbons. We now know how to go into the kitchen and didn't get the natural gas half and we learn how to do that. You find out that the reserves. Are not only abundant but for any practical perspective or are almost limitless. And as I mentioned this is this is not just a solution that can address America's challenges this is a solution. They can be spread around the world. And all the focus the conference here in Copenhagen. Is on CO2 I would like to also point out there are many other. Problems and then burning natural gas can address. Not the least of which is you have Knox emissions Sox emissions that come with cold. Mercury in various particulate matters and all of those basically go away. -- when you begin to burn natural gas. -- a lot of talk of green jobs unfortunately. Green jobs today in many places means Johnson that have to be subsidized natural gas jobs whether they be. In North America -- that'd be in other countries around the world. I think you'll find them to be highly competitive and do not need socialization. In the final -- which I mentioned before I'll come back to several times this is a great way to reduce. The power and some. Some people's minds a stranglehold. That OPEC holds on most commercial activities them around the world. They haven't yet -- it yet but to keep in mind American natural -- gas today. Is priced at the equivalent energy equivalent of about 25 to thirty dollars. So oil. Prepare -- so yeah oil traded for eighty dollars a barrel natural gas in America for 25 to thirty dollars. The barrel on -- -- going to be TU equivalency basis not many new technologies can be immediate communities. And reduce the price of the alternative product -- beat the price of the alternative product. By up to two thirds. So let's just take a look now at what has happened to come in and in America. 50% of American powers produced from coal about 20% from nuclear about 20% from natural gas. About 6% from -- -- and about 4% from. From certain renewable -- on you automatically begin to understand. The problem with scaling up -- -- not only -- intermittent. Let him but they start from small -- natural gas on the other hand starts from a base. 20%. American power but our power plants only run about 45% of the time. Naturally -- -- plants would -- about 25% time coal plants run about 75% of the time. So here's another way for our country we don't have to go build a bunch of new things all we have to do. This again to. Initiate policies that either internalize some of the external costs of coal or simply. Mandate. -- low -- and dispatch initiative. That would would favor natural gas and then just fat stack which today tends to favor colts simply because it's considered cheaper. I would because there are no cost mechanism -- cost. Loading mechanisms for their personalities. Okay let's talk about just her second term. This this abundance that we have we now America consumes about twenty trillion cubic feet of gas. Per year. That is about 25%. Of the world's consumption. Natural gas. We believe that we have now over 2000 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and what you find in a few minutes is that does not even put us in first place. In the world in terms of estimated shale reserves. Here's some examples I want him make sure you're aware of some these names of these shale formations because they're household names and in the US and -- in time -- will be the shale formations -- other discoveries around the world are compared to. Barnett Fayetteville. Haynesville composure. In the Marcellus shales of all -- -- changes. In the US and they are the backbone of what will enable our country. If we just come to this realization to not be a follower and global climate change policy. But I think we can be a leader it's something that we can all. Be proud of and US. This case -- good sense of -- geographically. Widespread. Shale basins are in the United States and I've mentioned Canada but their abundant shale resources -- -- as well on a minute I'll show you. World map to -- gives you an indication of now. A nicely spread shale deposits are around the world also. This is a map of for a -- rather the biggest natural gas fields in the world. And we've been producing natural gas commercially in the United States. Since 1849. Predates the discovery of oil in the United States by nineteen years. You think -- over the last 160 years have been a lot of big gas fields found around the world. But I think it's so fascinating. Is it just in the last five years three of the six largest natural gas fields in the world. Have been discovered they all happen to be in the United States a country. That he is the most -- country in all the -- so to imagine that all these years these reserves have been hidden. On this quite remarkable and I think -- quite well for. The likelihood that other huge natural gas fields exist around the world in -- in -- shales. And -- I'm not sure -- completely. Taking you through it but just to make sure that I do. -- -- -- it's dance is so tight. That naturally. -- molecules of natural gas cannot move through it. In the industry did not know how to get those molecules of gas out. It's only through the advent of horizontal drilling. And fracture stimulation techniques that have enabled us. To find a way to get that natural gas to -- to the surface rather than remain locked up. Below the surface them as it has for hundreds of millions of years. Another way to think about this is -- US consumes about sixty billion cubic feet of gas. I'm per day today and again that's about a quarter of the world so I'm consumption. And we believe this through the development of these -- -- reserves the US gas consumption. Can grow by about 40%. Between now and 20s30s -- that's without. Any incentives that's without any -- the reason to do anything other than just kind of grow with the economy over time we certainly thing. That we can do much better than this -- if asked to do so. But one energy equivalent. Of this today is this is about four million barrels of oil that can be backed out of the US system. Yes if if you took all -- in criminal natural gas production. And just took transportation. Sector that would reduce effective imports and you. 80%. And if you think about time today. About twenty. BC. Gas is used for day in the US to make electricity. And you begin to think about if we can increase gas production by 25 BCF -- so -- over the next twenty years. You could begin. To appreciate the fact that we can probably back out about half of the coal consumption. In the United States by using these incremental supplies of natural gas. 101 basis replace coal but natural gas. Here's a map of the world that I'm talking about time we've been blessed us -- human population with this. World that happens to just sit in this. Perfect place where we can you group things we can find police and that's what we're all trying to protect the future generations. And -- as you look at this map there are large scale sedimentary basins scattered. Around the world there are some that are smaller yet still we think important enough that don't. We'll show up on a map of this size and basically. With the exception of Antarctica and -- probably exist there but that's not good place to look. Every continent in the united in the in the world has shale formations that we believe are likely to be productive. Let's look at the natural gas and advantage wanted to thank you heard them Chris -- talk about. Is that when you substitute natural gas power for coal how are you reduce CO2 emissions somewhere between. Fifty to 70% I think we show here 44%. If you reduce gasoline. Consumption you reduce CO2 by about 25%. Yet you also reduce the price of gasoline. By about half of us in the US of course. In Europe and you could reduce it much more dramatically than that. But there are other benefits. And in some respects -- very very important benefits. -- replacing coal natural gas as well look at carbon monoxide and 81% reduction. Nitrogen oxide and 80% reduction sulfur dioxide and almost some 100%. Reduction. Particulate matter again almost a 100% and Mercury. Exactly 100% so every one of these additional pollutants. I'm X extracts the toll. On human health and so what we're all focused on C -- -- I would like to remind you. That there are many other benefits. Consuming natural gas. In lieu of coal. Let's talk about price -- right now the United States and many other countries around the world. Burn more coal and -- natural gas because. Cole has its mind in the ground on the ground and then put in -- power plant is cheaper than natural gas -- because we've not yet. The -- to internalize the cost the external costs of burning coal. You can see here that somewhere between thirty and forty dollars a ton. Tax or some kind of see placed on coal would clearly -- natural gas always the preferred. -- so if you think about all the different fees and structures that have been talked about. We think this is a recently modesty -- can be placed. On carbon overtime. Which under any. Environment. Would lead almost any consumer of power. To -- natural gas. Wind and solar fabulous you can't ever be discouraged in my opinion. About the future of the world when you walk out every morning and -- -- of sunshine and told it doesn't always happen here. But it did happen this morning and thrilled to see some sworn -- as everyone knows wind and solar -- Abundant around us and powerful around this -- C someday we'll obviously figure out a way to. To capture -- right now. There intermittent sources of power. And they are more expensive than natural gas to you think about -- you the alternative fuel. Trying -- we think that natural gas forms the foundation. The base of that and so we -- trying. Very hard to form relationships with the solar industry and -- in the wind industry because we think at least in America they oftentimes have a hard. Time convincing regulators will be to be favored because they can't prove. Their reliability when you pair them with natural gas power you have absolutely -- low carbon reliable. Affordable scalable system. -- mentioned. The utility. Now the difference in. Inefficiency of the usage of the power plants and coal power plants -- -- about 77%. Of the time. Natural gas power plants will run about 25% at times actually more. And stole. Megawatts. Power. Generation capability in the US -- there is. Cold the differences coal -- used to about two and half times the rate and gases and so. When we make this commitment to natural gas once we understand its abundance we don't have to go build a much -- the power lines we don't have to build pipelines. We don't have to build new power plants is all right there. And also like to get a plug. Into the transportation sector coal gets most of the tension in the conference -- today because. It is square for example United States 41%. Of all CO2 emissions come. From coal fired power plants yet at same time. We have a problem in our country. The transportation network that is a huge contributor to -- And we import about two thirds or oil. I think that's financially unsustainable it's the largest wealth transfer in the history of the world. About 400 billion dollars -- here we -- transferring to oil. Exporters. And yet here we sit on top of the world's largest natural gas reserves United States is Saudi Arabia natural gas. If we were to begin to embrace natural gas and our transportation sector. You could also finding yet another path -- powerful pathway. To reduce CO2 emissions but same time again.

Fenix's tough LED flashlight spits out an incredible 520 lumens
Is that a rocket in your pocket? Or just the 520-lumen tactical flashlight.
Don't be fooled by its size (alas, how often we have said that). The Fenix™ LD41 LED flashlight fits in your pocket yet delivers 520 lumens of light - that's incredibly bright - where other 4 "AA" battery flashlights average about 256. Has a bad-ass tactical appearance great for scaring off intruders - even if it's just a varmint in your campsite. Rugged, waterproof little powerhouse has 4 light settings as low as 5 lumens (reading), yet is bright enough on high for caving or nighttime search and rescue. Shines up to 200 meters, runs 160 hours (low), or 2 hours and 10 minutes (high), and has an anti-roll, slip-resistant design. Impact-resistant aircraft aluminum body tough enough for job site, maintenance or outdoor use.

Best Uses
I work security, and I bought this to compare with some other more expensive brand flashlights that I have owned. It is easy to use, once you get used to the tail cap switches. It is more square and bulky than I am used to, but it is not huge, and cumbersome, and I decided that I like the way it feels. I have read complaints about the sheath/pouch being too difficult, but I have found that with just a couple of days of practice, that I can put it back in it one handed. All it requires is a little finesse and getting used to. The beam is long, and bright enough for what I need to see. And it is wide enough for a broad sweep as well. I sometimes have to strain to see shadows within shadows, and this light has put an end to that. I only wish you carried the other Fenix brand lights as well. I would recommend, for home use, security use, camping, and for the glove box of your automobile. I have not dropped it, so I have no idea how impact resistant it is, but it says up to 1m. Try it, you'll like it!
Best Uses
I work in a lumber yard at night. Need a good bright light to read tags stacked high up.The brighter the light the easier to read the tags.
Just wish it came with a better case to keep it in, always a fight to put it away when I'm not using it.
Best Uses
I keep it by my bed in case someone breaks in. The strobe feature would disorient the intruder which would give me an advantage. Once the intruder is disoriented the Fenix is built so that it could be used to defend yourself. The Fenix is an extemely bright light in a small package. Planning on ordering another to keep in my truck. Only thing the light needs is a way to carry the spare parts that is included which are the "O" ring and switch covering.

In addition to force management programs announced in July, the Air Force will implement the Enlisted Date of Separation Rollback Program for fiscal year 2014, Air Force Personnel Center officials said today.
The rollback will accelerate the date of separation for senior master sergeants and below who meet required criteria, said Lt. Col. RicK Garcia, AFPC retirements and separations branch chief. Airmen affected must separate from the Air Force by May 31, 2014, and those eligible to retire must do so effective May 1, 2014 or sooner.
Airman can be considered for the DOS rollback only if they meet all of the following:
- Have fewer than 15 years on active duty as of May 31, or 20 years or more on or before April 30.
- Have a May 31, 2015 or earlier DOS for Airmen eligible to be separated, or April 30, 2015 DOS or earlier for retirement-eligible Airmen.
- Have a 3D or 3E reenlistment code, an 09 assignment availability code or a 3E grade status reason that renders them ineligible to reenlist.
Codes used to identify Airmen for DOS rollback will reflect Airmen who have refused to acquire retainability for promotion, temporary duty, permanent change of station, training, retraining or professional military education.
Airmen eligible to retire may also be vulnerable to DOS rollback separation, Garcia said.
Retirement is not automatic. If you are eligible to retire and identified for DOS rollback, you must submit a retirement application by Jan. 31, 2014, for the May 1 or earlier retirement. If you do not, you will be separated instead, and will not receive retirement benefits, he explained.
Airmen separated or retired under DOS rollback will not be required to repay unearned portions of bonuses, special pays or other monetary incentives, Garcia said. They will also not be entitled to any unpaid portions of bonuses, special pays, or other monetary incentives.
Airmen affected by the rollback may also be entitled to separation pay, the colonel said.
Airmen who have between six but less than 20 years of active service who are not first termers may be eligible for full separation pay, if they sign an Individual Ready Reserve Agreement. In addition, Airmen on active duty for 180 days or more will be authorized transition assistance benefits, such as permissive temporary duty, 180 days extended medical care for themselves and their family members, and two years of commissary and exchange privileges.
In addition to those separation benefits, retiring and separating members are required to participate in a comprehensive transition assistance program which includes four mandatory elements: pre-separation counseling, a five-day workshop, a VA benefits briefing, and a capstone review.
Optional additional training seminars and extensive one-on-one career counseling are available at their respective installations, Garcia explained.

"Happy Accident"
"I was sent this accidentally by Spalding Labs instead of another product I had ordered. As it happened, the day it arrived, a barn cat had peed on some horse blankets. UGH! Decided to give this product a try, and lo and behold the odor was GONE! Nothing worse than the smell of cat pee... Kept the ""mistake"" and ordered more. GREAT product."

State of the State
Governor Michael R. Pence
January 22, 2013
As prepared for delivery:
Speaker Bosma, President Pro Tem Long, Lt. Governor Ellspermann, Senator Lanane, Representative Pelath, members of the General Assembly and Judiciary, distinguished guests, my fellow Hoosiers:
I am honored to stand before you today as governor of all the people of Indiana and I know that, together, we will write the next great chapter of Indiana history.
Thank you for that warm welcome. To my colleagues gathered here I say, my remarks will not be as brief as last week's inaugural address, but your feet will be warmer!
Article V, of the Constitution of the State of Indiana provides that the Governor shall "give to the General Assembly information touching the condition of the State, and recommend such measures as he shall judge to be expedient."
In discharging that duty, I come before you to proclaim that the state of our state is strong and growing stronger because we have good government and because we serve a great people. If we will remain bold, confident and optimistic, I am positive we can lead our state from good to great.
Hoosiers owe a debt of gratitude to all the leaders gathered in this room. Because of your service in the recent past, our state has become the fiscal envy of the nation and a model from how good government works.
We have balanced budgets and surpluses when most states are broke or struggling. We are one of only nine states with a AAA bond rating-higher than the federal government.
But while we rightly celebrate our progress, these are still difficult times for too many in our state.
As we gather this evening, a quarter million Hoosiers are out of work, and nearly one million Hoosiers lack the skills they need to succeed in today's marketplace.
Despite progress in education, too many of our schools are still lagging behind, some way behind.
And, especially heartbreaking to this father, one in five Hoosier children lives in poverty. That is unacceptable.
With so many families and businesses struggling just to get by, we have no choice but to remain bold.
We have to do better.
And doing better starts with the right priorities. It starts by adopting a roadmap that says "yes" to our future and believes in the unlimited potential of our people.
It all starts by making job creation job one.
That's why on day one of our administration, I signed a moratorium on any new regulations to ensure that Indiana is not burdening Hoosier employers with unnecessary red tape.
And that's why we proposed a jobs budget last week.
Our budget is honestly balanced, holds the line on spending, funds our priorities, builds our reserves and lets hardworking Hoosiers keep more of what they earned.
Let's be clear: Government doesn't create jobs, other than government jobs, but government can create the conditions where people can be the risk takers, innovators, and workers who will create the jobs and opportunities of tomorrow.
And everything starts with fiscal discipline, the surest foundation for economic growth.
I believe our State must live within its means and never spend a single dollar more than it collects.
So, first, we have submitted an honestly balanced budget, with no tax increases.
Second, our budget holds the line on spending.
I believe the government budget should never grow faster than the family budget. Our budget is a full percentage point less than inflation. By holding the line on spending, Indiana can continue to stand out as a beacon of fiscal restraint-a state that knows how to fund its priorities in a responsible way.
And our budget funds our priorities:
Our budget proposes an increase in funding for education, including full day kindergarten, and fully funds teacher pensions each of the next two years. As a result, education represents 64 percent of all state expenditures.
In addition, we provide $18 million over two years to ensure that all Hoosier workers have the skills to find a job in today's economy.
And since roads mean jobs, we're investing nearly $347 million in excess reserves on Indiana's roads, bridges and infrastructure.
Our budget creates a partnership with Indiana's life sciences industry and our universities, to spur research and produce high-paying jobs.
And because Indiana is agriculture we envision our state becoming a hub of food and agricultural breakthroughs by supporting an Agriculture Innovation Corridor
Our budget also ensures that the Indiana Economic Development Corporation is adequately equipped to both attract more business and investment to Indiana and operate with greater transparency and accountability to the public.
And lastly, our budget keeps faith with those to whom we owe the most.
It was Abraham Lincoln who said we must, "care for him who shall have borne the battle." But in Indiana, our veterans are hurting, and they need our help. Post-9/11 Hoosier veterans have an unemployment rate higher than the national average. We have to do better. We owe these heroes nothing less.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner believes Lewis Hamilton's departure has made McLaren a weaker team...
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner believes Lewis Hamilton's departure has made McLaren a weaker team.
Hamilton's 14-year working relationship with McLaren will come to an end on December 31 after he opted not to renew his contract with the Woking squad, signing a multi-year contract with Mercedes instead.
McLaren will have a Jenson Button-Sergio Perez driver line-up in 2013 after they signed the Mexican from Sauber.
Horner, who has overseen Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull's three consecutive World Championships, has warned the Woking squad that Hamilton's exit is a big blow.
"I think McLaren is a weaker team without Lewis," said Horner. "I think McLaren would admit that.
"Lewis is an outstanding driver and in Lewis and Jenson they had a hugely strong driver line-up."
McLaren had arguably one of the best cars on the grid this season, but both Hamilton and Button came well short in the race for silverware as mechanical failures hampered their challenges.
"McLaren have had a great car this year and who's to say they won't have an even better one next year?" Horner said.
Hamilton's new team Mercedes are coming off a terrible year as both Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg had several retirements due to reliability problems.
Horner, though, believes the 2008 World Champion will give Merc a big boost next year.
"Whichever team had taken Lewis, he would be an asset," he said.
"I'm sure he will naturally add performance to Mercedes next year."

Colorblocking is in full swing for spring — we've already shown you some of our fave ways to get in on the two-tone trend — but why let your clothes have all the fun? Layering bright shadows, liners, blushes, and lipsticks can result in a cool, colorful makeup look that's right on trend for the season.
Just like colorblocked clothes, there's myriad possibilites with your makeup as well, so we asked makeup artist Raychel Wade to break down four of our favorite ways to get graphic. "Colorblocking is so liberating because you get to throw all of those traditional 'rules' of makeup out the window and let your creative juices flow," says Wade. "But in order to make it wearable, since we aren't all prancing down a runway each day, try and use some restraint and balance." That means highlighting one feature, rather than your entire face, to avoid looking like you got sucker-punched by a clown.
We went a little crazy with our colors (what can we say, it's go bold or go home around here), so use these editorial looks as inspiration, not literal interpretations. Tone down the colors and the application to make these more wearable, or if you're feeling fierce, just go for it! Read on to see makeup colorblocking in action, and to get Raychel's tips on how to translate the trend to the real world.

Office of Admissions and Financial Aid
Office of Combined Degree and Physician Scholar Programs
MD-PHD Program
The Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) prepares students for careers as physician-investigators engaged in basic, disease-oriented and translational biomedical research. Strengths of the program include:
- the depth and breadth of research opportunities
- top-notch clinical training
- an emphasis on physician-investigator training and mentorship
- a large community of MD-PhD students and alumni
- a nationally recognized track record of producing successful physician-scientists
The vast majority of our MD-PhD students pursue PhD's in the following biomedical science graduate groups: Cell and Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, Immunology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, Pharmacological Sciences, Genomics and Computational Biology (School of Medicine) and Bioengineering (School of Engineering and Applied Science). The school offers fully funded fellowships to all accepted applicants in these areas. Penn has one of the largest MSTP grants from NIH in the country, and most of our fellowships are derived from MSTP and other funds.
Approximately 5% of our students are pursuing the PhD in other areas related to medicine. Some of the relevant graduate programs include Health Care Management (Wharton School) and History and Sociology of Sciences (School of Arts and Sciences). While most of our students are in the biomedical sciences, Penn is committed to training physician-investigators in other areas as well.
Successful candidates for the MD-PhD program will possess outstanding academic qualifications as reflected by their undergraduate transcripts and MCAT scores. Since the goal of this program is to train physician investigators, the program is particularly interested in applicants with substantial prior research experience in their area of interest, and who have demonstrated strong motivation and potential for their chosen careers. Letters of recommendation from research mentors are a critical part of the application.
For more information about the MD-PhD program at Penn, visit: www.med.upenn.edu/mstp/
MD/Master's Programs
In addition to the MD-PhD program, there are a number of other opportunities for students who wish to combine the MD with another course of formal study. The Perelman School of Medicine enthusiastically supports students interested in pursuing a second degree in areas related to medicine.
Admission to the Master's programs is competitive, and decisions for the Master's program and the MD program are made independently. Students typically apply for a Master's program after matriculating to medical school, rather than applying simultaneously to the MD and Master's programs at the time of initial application. However, a very small number of candidates choose to apply to both programs from the beginning. Students must independently contact the relevant Master's program and submit a completed Master's program application to the graduate school.
There are several established MD-Master's programs, each of which is designed to allow Penn students to save time and tuition by completing the degrees in a combined program rather than separately. The curricula and financial aid opportunities vary by program. www.med.upenn.edu/educ_combdeg/.
MD-Master of Business Administration
This program is designed to integrate the study of medicine with training in managerial, financial, and technical expertise in the health care field. Five years are required to earn the degree and the majority of students enroll in the Health Care Management major. Applications are made in the 3rd year of medical school during Round 1. www.med.upenn.edu/educ_combdeg/mdmba.shtml
MD-Master Of Bioethics
A program which provides MD students with the interdisciplinary training to address the moral challenges in healthcare today and in the future. The combined degree is generally earned in four years if admitted to the MBE program in years 1 or 2. Applications are generally initiated in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd year of medical school, but occasionally students apply to both programs simultaneously. www.med.upenn.edu/educ_combdeg/mdmbioethics.shtml
MD-Master Of Science In Clinical Epidemiology
This program is for students interested in careers in clinical research. The goal of the program is to train individuals as independent investigators. Students generally apply for admission to this program in their 3rd year of medical school. The MD/MSCE can be completed in five years or extended if necessary. www.med.upenn.edu/educ_combdeg/MDMSCEProgram.shtml
MD-Master of Public Health
The program is designed for students with a special focus on population health problems. It provides strong interdisciplinary training to individuals interested in clinical practice, prevention, hygiene, education and policy making. Students generall apply for admission to this prgram in their 3rd year. www.med.upenn.edu/educ_combdeg/mdmphprogram.shtml
MD-Master of Science in translational research
This program provides in depth instruction in the fundamental skills, methodology, and principles necessary to be a clinical investigator. The goal of the program is to produce clinical researchers who are knowledgeable about the complex issues of clinical research. The MD/MTR can be completed in five years. Students generally apply for admission to this program during their 3rd year of medical school. www.med.upenn.edu/educ_combdeg/mdmtr.shtml
MD-Master of science in health policy research
The Master of Science in Health Policy Research Program is a training program open to medical students. This program is designed primarily for physicians pursuing careers at the interface of health services research and health policy and its focus is on: health economics, health policy, qualitative/quantitative data collection, research study design and data analysis. www.med.upenn.edu/educ_combdeg/mdmshp.shtml
This program is designed to provide rigorous methodological and conceptual training in bioethics for medical students who aim to become academic bioethicists. This dual degree program can be completed in five years and limited scholarship funding is available. www.med.upenn.edu/educ_combdeg/mdmsme.shtml
md-master in law and health
This program is designed to help develop an understanding of health law and legal principles shaping health care. An emphasis on the contractual and legal obligations of health care service, regulation of health care and insurance industries, intellectual property, pharmaceutical developments and medical devices. www.med.upenn.edu/educ_combdeg/mdml.shtml
At the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, there is no formal MD/JD program. However, if a student applies to medical school and to the law school and is accepted to both programs, the medical and law schools will work together with that student to develop an integrated program. Through these efforts it may be possible to complete both degrees in a total of six years, rather than seven. www.med.upenn.edu/educ_combdeg/mdjd.shtml
