Preparing Students to be Physician Scientists

The Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) at UC San Diego combines clinical training in the UCSD School of Medicine with research education in a graduate program. Trainees earn both M.D. and Ph.D. degrees. Students gain expertise in three major areas of academic medicine: research, teaching, and clinical care.
