About Northwestern MSTP
The Northwestern University MSTP is designed to seamlessly interweave training in biomedical research with the values, knowledge and art of clinical medicine. As well as our location at a widely recognized academic medical center, what sets our program apart is our people, including a comprehensive advising system of dedicated faculty and staff who guide students through every step of MD-PhD training.
The Northwestern MSTP was one of the first NIH-funded MD-PhD training programs in the country and continues to provide students with outstanding resources and mentorship for acquiring clinical and research skills."
