Medical Scientist Training Program (MD/PhD) | Duke University School of Medicine

The Duke Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) trains highly qualified students as physician-scientists by combining graduate education in basic biomedical science with the full clinical curriculum of the School of Medicine. The program leads to both MD and PhD degrees and typically takes seven to eight years for completion, equipping students to solve problems in human disease using approaches from basic biomedical and social sciences. One of fifty NIH-funded programs and the fourth established by the NIH in 1966, Duke MSTP is widely regarded as one of the best.
