This six-to-seven-year Physician-Scientist Training Program (PSTP) is designed for MD/PhD or MD graduates with extensive research experience who are interested in a career in academic pathology and investigation. The PSTP allows the trainee to complete American Board of Pathology requirements for certification in anatomic pathology, clinical pathology or both, while providing ample time for intensive laboratory work under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Each trainee accepted into the program will be strongly favored for a fellowship of their choosing in the Department of Pathology and will receive financial support for their salary, benefits and research.
