Course summary

The Medical Scientist Training Program at Northwestern University is supported by the National Institutes of Health Medical Scientist Training Program grant, awarded to only 41 combined MD-PhD programs. Most MSTP students at Northwestern complete two years of medical school and Step I of the national board exam (USMLE Step I) before their Ph.D., then complete the entire Ph.D. program, and finally return to medical school to finish the third and fourth years and Step 2 of the national board exam (USMLE Step II). Entering students are encouraged (but not required) to complete a research laboratory rotation before the first year of medical school. By the end of the first year in the program, students complete at least two research rotations and choose a thesis advisor. An alternative schedule is to complete only the first year of medical school, then the entire graduate program, returning to the second, third, and fourth years of medical school. Students following this alternative schedule complete Step I of the national board exam after the second year of medical school and Step II during the fourth year of medical school.
