The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Oxford Cambridge (OxCam) Scholars Program, founded in 2001, is an accelerated doctoral program in which scholars engage in collaborate biomedical research at the NIH and either the University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge.

[1] The program offers both PhD and combined MD/PhD training pathways through collaborations with various medical schools in the United States.

[4] The OxCam program was founded in 2001 by Michael Lenardo and Richard Siegel in response to four limitations identified in biomedical graduate education within the United States.

[1][5] These shortcomings include: The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge were chosen as partners by the NIH due to the strength of their biomedical research programs and their students' shorter time to PhD completion (3–4 years).

The OxCam program also seeks to promote a more individualized training experience by minimizing required coursework or rotations.
