About the M.D./Ph.D. Program

 

Myrna Garcia

 

The STX-MSTP is an NIH-designated Medical Scientist Training Program (dual degree MD/PhD Program). We received this designation in 2018 (NIH T32GM113896). The goals of the MSTP are to support the training of a diverse group of physician-scientists who will:

  • Provide the highest level of clinical care.
  • Conduct innovative and translational biomedical research.
  • Function as clinical and scientific leaders addressing the growing health disparities of America.
  • Practice inclusive, safe, and rigorous mentorship in research and medical training environments

Our program works in conjunction with the Long School of Medicine for medical school and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences for graduate school. 

 

Program Timeline

Our program provides integrated training focused on developing physician-scientists, however, there are distinctly clinical and research-oriented parts of the program as well. For a more detailed look at the breakdown, please see the figure below.
