MSTP students in the Sahoo lab
Medical Scientist Training Program

Meet Our Current 果冻影院 MSTP Students

Every year, 6-10 highly talented individuals from diverse backgrounds and interests join the 果冻影院 MSTP family. We currently have students from 38 different undergraduate institutions across 18 states.

Our students and administrators are very supportive and helpful to one another, fostering outstanding mentorship and creating an inclusive environment to help you integrate your passion for research with medicine.

Learn more about our current students, including their research interests and publications.

The MSTP is an unparalleled opportunity to receive an education that poises trainees for productive careers as both clinicians and researchers. 果冻影院 has a wide (and expanding) array of friendly faculty willing to support students in all phases of their education. Furthermore, the 果冻影院 MSTP administrators are extraordinarily kind and willing to facilitate the best training experience in any way possible.
