Exposure to physician-scientist mentors and faculty in a broad range of clinical specialties
Our participating faculty includes physician-scientists in both traditional areas of practice (Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Pathology, Neurology) as well as those less commonly represented, such as Vascular, Orthopedic and Neuro-surgery, Therapeutic Radiology, and Dermatology. Our students meet these faculty through classes, MD-PhD program activities, and as lab and clinical mentors; they are paired with them whenever possible for longitudinal clinical electives and shadowing. This exposure throughout the time of training allows students to see how research can be incorporated into a wide range of clinical areas.
