Medical Scientist Training Program Training Grant - There is a need to train physician-scientists with an excellent foundation in both biomedical research and clinical medicine in order to gain a more detailed understanding of disease.

The Duke Medical Scientist Training Program seeks to train MD-PhD candidates in both medicine and science through a unique curriculum that provides students with comprehensive clinical training prior to their PhD training. Through this program, Duke MSTP students will be poised to translate scientific discoveries into therapies for human disease.
