Faculty
The faculty at UT Southwestern Medical Center is among the most distinguished in the world. UT Southwestern Medical Center is home to four Nobel Laureates, three of whom are MD/PhDs, 18 members of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, 21 members of the Institute of Medicine, 13 Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigators, three members of the Royal Society of Great Britain and numerous members of prominent national science policy panels. Currently, there are more than 700 students earning their Ph.D. degrees, including 95 M.D./Ph.D. students.
Mentoring
Each resident entering the PSTP will be assigned a physician-scientist mentor at the beginning of the residency. The trainee and mentor will meet regularly during the first year to assist with choices about subsequent research training and appropriate mentors for the research training. The trainees are encouraged to choose a subspecialty during the spring of their first year. Once a subspecialty training program is chosen, a new mentor from that subspecialty will be provided if it differs from that of their initial mentor. This mentor will then guide the trainee through the next year of general medicine and the clinical year(s) of subspecialty training. If necessary, additional mentors will be added during the research years so that both clinical and basic research expertise is available. The goal is to provide a supportive environment that will ensure successful physician-scientist training.
