MEDICAL
SCIENTIST TRAINING PROGRAM
The Medical Scientist Training Program at the University of Washington
is looking for bright, highly qualified candidates throughout the United
States to apply to the program. The goal of the M.D.-Ph.D. program is
to provide young scientists both with in-depth research experience and
with medical expertise to investigate the most challenging problems
of human health. Our students spend the first two academic years at
the UW medical school curriculum and the summers of those years in laboratory
rotations. At the beginning of year three, each student chooses a lab
for Ph.D. research and spends (typically) four years on a dissertation
project. Students then return to medical school for the final two years
of clinical studies. Students graduate with both the M.D. and the Ph.D.
and enter residency or postdoctoral training. Our graduates are extremely
competitive for these post-graduate positions and generally have their
choice of a very wide range of top-rated opportunities. The program
is especially strong in biotechnology, genetics, neurobiology, cancer
research and molecular and cell biology. Please visit the program web
site at www.mstp.washington.edu
for more specific details regarding the program itself and the application
requirements.
In order to apply to the University of Washington's MST Program,
you must submit the AMCAS application to the University of Washington
Medical School by Saturday, November 1, 2003. After submission, complete
the online MSTP application. The application deadline for the program
is Thursday, January 15, 2004.
