In conjunction with the HPME, research training is available through the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP). This MD/PhD program administered by the Graduate and Feinberg Schools may be an option if you wish to make research an integral part of your medical career and you meet Graduate School requirements.

The MSTP expands the total educational period from 7 to 10 or 11 years, at the end of which you will have completed work for baccalaureate, PhD, and MD degrees. Students interested in the MSTP should apply by the beginning of the third year in the HPME.

The medical school is deeply cognizant of its responsibility to educate medical scientists and teachers as well as clinicians.

Opportunities for a challenging and satisfying life as a physician, medical scientist, medical educator, or some combination of these are unlimited. The HPME can provide you with the foundation upon which to build a successful and rewarding career in medicine.
