The Medical Scientist Training Program is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) supported MD/PhD program combining traditional medical training with a medical research project. It can take 6-10 years to complete, but for the right candidate, opens up a remarkable career world. Admission is very competitive; often students rejected from MD/PhD programs are accepted by one of more regular MD programs. A huge advantage of MD/PhD programs is that they are effectively free. Tuition is waived, a living expense stipend awarded, and a small salary built into the financial package.
