Is there any way to combine college and medical school?

A number of universities offer combined (B.S./M.D.) college and medical school programs. About five percent of all U.S. medical school students participate in these programs. While most involve the typical four years of undergraduate education followed by four years of medical school, some programs permit students to complete both undergraduate and medical school in six to seven years. Several programs are limited to state residents, and many require prospective medical students to be enrolled at specific undergraduate institutions.
