Support the Fund of Excellence for the SBU Medical Scientist Training Program

The Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) at the Renaissance School of Medicine (RSOM) at Stony Brook University is dedicated to developing the next generation of physician-scientists and healthcare leaders. Through rigorous training in both biomedical research and clinical medicine, students are empowered to advance scientific discovery and translate knowledge into innovations that improve human health. Since its founding in 1981, the MSTP has served as the institutional hub for physician-scientist training at the medical student level. With continuous NIH funding for ~30 years, supplemented by generous support from RSOM, the program offers a robust environment for both academic and professional growth. Each year, the MSTP enrolls approximately nine new students, maintaining a dynamic and collaborative community of around 80 trainees. With strong mentorship, comprehensive training and a commitment to individual success, the program prepares students to become impactful leaders at the intersection of medicine and science.
