Medical Scientist Training Program

The Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) at UT Southwestern integrates medical and research training for qualified individuals at the graduate level leading to both M.D. and Ph.D. degrees. The goal of the Program is to prepare individuals as physician-scientists. Graduates of this Program typically pursue careers in academic medicine and biomedical research at the nation's leading institutions.

This Program offers students an integrated curriculum in the scholarly setting of UT Southwestern Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and UT Southwestern Medical School. The MSTP curriculum is flexible and individualized to suit the background and interest of each medical scientist fellow. The program is designed to be completed in approximately seven to eight years. Additional time is allotted if needed to meet requirements for the Ph.D. degree.
