Serving as a catalyst program for tomorrow's physician scientists
We have a truly integrated curriculum, in which MSTP students in their first and second years concurrently take both a selection of medical school and graduate school courses. This allows our students to get a head start on their graduate courses, while also getting to know both their fellow MD and PhD classmates. Our MD-PhD students are highly involved in multiple aspects of the program, including being student advisors to the MSTP Directors, organizing our new Southeastern MD-PhD Symposium, and planning the annual MSTP retreat.
UAB MD and MD-PHD students, who are associated with the UAB APSA, partner with the Birmingham YMCA to ignite curiosity about science using experiments and hands-on activities.
