MD/PhD - Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP)
The MSTP program allows students to work toward both an MD and PhD degree through the medical school and The Graduate School, respectively. Students are first admitted to the medical school before applying for the MSTP.
At Northwestern, we are committed to developing physicianship, which encompasses the art of medical practice and service, as well as to acquiring the skills needed for a career of investigation, discovery and leadership in medical science.”
