Welcome to the MSTP @ AECOM! |
|
The Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM) is one of the nation's oldest. From the start, our goal has been to train academic medicine's future leaders. Continuously funded by the National
Institutes of Health since 1964, the Einstein MSTP has a long list of
illustrious Alumni with careers spanning the spectrum from basic science research to clinical medicine and many variations in between.
Today, the Einstein MSTP is still unique. Larger than most other MSTPs, it fosters a strong academic and social community within the
college. While large enough to be an independent academic unit, the
program is still small enough to provide students with the individual
attention their unique careers require.
The current training program recognizes that the successful physician-scientist training is not simply medical school plus graduate training. The program integrates MSTP-specific courses with medical and graduate courses, during the first two years of preclinical course work. Integration continues during the PhD thesis research years through weekly involvement in the MSTP Continuity Clinic and with monthly Clinical Pathological Conferences and MSTP Career Paths Seminars. This combination has resulted in
outstanding publications (Latest Publications), competitive residency placement (Match Results), and successful academic careers (Alumni) for its 300 graduates.
