for a student who has majored in biology and wants to earn a MD not a DO. Are there any linkage programs available?
 
Yeah,

That's something I am interested in hearing about too.

My main interest is with master's programs that also have linkage agreements and what I know for that is:

Drexel's MSP program guarantees an interview with their med school after completion

UMDNJ seems to have a linkage with their own med school.

What other ones do people know about?

Most linkage programs are for people who have not yet taken all of the pre-reqs and do a formal post-bacc program. The "special masters programs" arent real linkages, but they usually cut you some slack in terms of GPA and less so with the MCAT.
 
University of Miami has a linkage program, at least the did a few years ago when I did my PostBac there...
