Medical Scientist Training Program

For 43 years, the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) at Stony Brook University has recruited exceptional students and trained them to make major contributions to human health as physician-scientists — truly “building a better world.” The program provides rigorous training for physician-scientists to pursue careers in academic medicine. Students are exposed to both clinical and basic scientific activities throughout their training.

Stony Brook University has graduated 129 physician-scientists in training thus far, with alumni spread across the country at top institutions and leading-edge biotechnology companies. Our graduates have continued to make exciting and important new translational discoveries and pioneer novel therapeutics (see here for a full listing).
