How common is transferring between programs at a medical school?

For example, if someone were to decide during their first year in an MD only program that they were interested in pursuing a MD/PhD or an MD/MPH program (or from MD/MPH/PhD to an MD only program) at that same institution, is it possible/common to be able to transfer into that program? Just curious...

Yes possible, not common

Some schools will be more receptive to this than others.

It's entirely institution-dependent.
