The purpose of the MSTP seminar is to introduce our fellows to exceptional physician-scientists and translational research both from our own institution and from other centers of excellence. From September to December seminars are held concurrently with interviews for potential candidates for the MD/PhD Program. Attendance is mandatory.

During the summer interim period, the seminar is held bi-weekly in order to introduce first- and second-year MSTP students to medically oriented research projects by a variety of faculty members. This mandatory summer-seminar course explores fundamental biology as the foundation of modern medicine.
