Summary

Award number — T32 GM65481

The Medical Scientist Training Program at Mayo Clinic is designed to mentor a diverse group of trainees through an integrated series of research and clinical activities as they acquire the knowledge and skills required to become future leaders in biomedical research and academic medicine. In addition to providing strong education in medicine and intensive training in scientific inquiry, the program:

  • Trains students to seek medical implications in even the most basic scientific discoveries
  • Fosters students' innate curiosity, so they are keen to take clinical questions back to the laboratory to look for new fundamental knowledge
  • Develops trainees' leadership and collaborative skills, so they are prepared to bridge basic and clinical research efforts as they pave the way for innovative solutions to medical problems

Mayo Clinic's exceptionally strong integration between basic science and clinical and translational research fosters the environment necessary to achieve the program's educational mission.

This challenging program requires trainees to develop the probing analytical skills of basic scientists and the broad knowledge base and diagnostic tools of physicians. Through the Medical Scientist Training Program, students become highly skilled physician-scientists who lead advances in science and clinical practice.
