title: The Washington University Medical Scientist Training Program.
abstract: Washington University's Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) is the largest and among the most successful programs in the country for training physician-scientists. Due to the evolution of biomedicine and as a result of recent initiatives at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), exciting new opportunities are arising for physician-scientists. Interdisciplinary research will be increasingly required to tackle challenging scientific and medical problems, and MSTP students able to negotiate between the physical, biological and medical sciences will be poised to take advantage of this.
