Program Director: Bert Shapiro

  • Program must integrate medical and scientific training

  • There must be training compression so that duration is reasonable

  • There should be MSTP-specific activities for specialized training and to create a strong group identity

  • There should be career counseling at many points in the training

  • The graduates should be going to strong academic residencies with a commitment to research careers

  • The expectation is that a large majority of the graduates will become physician-scientists
