Program Purpose
The Internal Medicine sponsored Physician Scientist Training Program (PSTP) is a modified training track that allows young physician-scientists to take a short-track option for post-residency scientific training at UT Southwestern. PSTP participants have the option of starting a fellowship after 2 years of Internal Medicine training. They are exposed to highly individualized mentorship, have the opportunity to train in the research laboratories of our internationally renowned faculty, and are eligible for up to four years of augmented salary support during the years of their fellowship training. All fellowship programs within the Department of Internal Medicine participate in this program and support it enthusiastically.
Program Goals
The goal of the PSTP program is to provide a formal mechanism to facilitate and support the development of physician scientists who wish to pursue a career in academic medicine.
Eligibility
Applicants who are eligible include trainees with both M.D. and Ph.D. degrees. M.D.s with a Master's degree and/or other substantial research experience will also be considered. A letter from the applicant's Ph.D. mentor or research mentor is required.
