About me
Washington University’s Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) prepares individuals for careers as physician-scientists, engaged in biomedical research that creates new knowledge for the betterment of society. We have one of the largest MD/PhD program in the nation but take an individualized approach to training. Our students are motivated adult learners who tailor training according to their goals. The MSTP provides guidance, oversight and support but expects students to take responsibility for their education. Freed from the constraints of excessive course and program requirements, we encourage students to dream large and explore the frontiers of knowledge.
