Physician Scientist Training Pathway (PSTP)

I would like to bring to your attention an excellent opportunity that the Northwestern University Physician Scientist Training Program offers for your MD-PhD graduates. The Departments of Internal Medicine, Neurology, Pathology, Pediatrics, Surgery, and Urology have developed an integrated research residency/fellowship program with programmatic activities involving trainees in all disciplines -- effectively a postgraduate version of the MD-PhD program.

The Northwestern PSTP provides outstanding clinical training in these six specialties, intensive mentorship on career development and pathway to independence, financial supplementation and access to some of the country's best fellowship programs. William Schnaper, M.D. is leading this effort, and both general and specialty-specific information is provided at our web site http://pstp.northwestern.edu.

I would appreciate it if you could forward this message with attachment to your students. We have put a lot of work into developing the program and will nurture your graduates to give them the best possible chance of succeeding as academic physician-scientists.

Sincerely,

David
