Medical Scientist Training Program (M.D./Ph.D.)

Our mission is to provide a rich and dynamic training environment to promote excellence for our next generation of physician-scientists. We provide an integrated research/clinical experience that combines graduate training in the eight programs in biomedical sciences, public health, and biomedical engineering with outstanding medical education taking advantage of our world-renowned hospitals and institutes of excellence. 
 
Miami is a city filled with diversity and creativity, and likewise, we cultivate and value these characteristics in our students. This is accomplished through the understanding and training of our students and faculty in racism, sexism, LGBTQ+ issues, health inequity, and social-economic determinants identified in our diverse patient population. Overall, our program’s success is measured by the happiness, compassion, commitment, and competitiveness of our students as physician-scientists.

The University of Miami MSTP is a wonderful place for M.D./Ph.D. training! The MSTP is passionate about training physician-scientists in a wide range of biomedical fields, and there are many mentors who are supportive and encouraging, resulting in students who are productive, successful and competitive for prestigious residency programs. The camaraderie among the MSTP students is wonderful and one of the best parts of the program.
