The Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) is a M.D./Ph.D. program that has applied for and been awarded funds specifically for training M.D./Ph.D. students from the National Institutes of Health. Other than the source of funding, there is no significant difference between a MST program and a non-NIH designated M.D./Ph.D. program other than school-specific variations in curricula and support for students.
