Medical Scientist Training Program

The Perot Family Scholars 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 academic careers at leading research-intensive institutions or industry careers at biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies.

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 eight years. Additional time is allotted, if needed, to meet requirements for the Ph.D. degree.
