The goal of the NYU Medical Scientist Training
Program (MSTP) is to prepare highly qualified individuals for careers
as physician scientists. These individuals will approach basic biological
science and human disease from unique perspectives. Their medical
backgrounds inform and give direction to their science, while their
science education informs their approach to observing and understanding
human disease. Graduates of this program are prepared to make significant
contributions to the advancement of biomedical science through basic
and translational research, and to assume positions of leadership
at academic medical centers, biomedical research institutions, pharmaceutical
and biotechnology industries and government health and research
agencies.
