Our program was among the early group to receive NIH funding as an MSTP. MD-PhD programs are designed for students who want to become research physicians, also known as physician-scientists. Each side of the dual degree training informs the other side. Students are trained to recognize new ways that clinical care can benefit from research, and to see how research discoveries can be translated to the clinical level. MD/PhD candidates are trained for careers in which they will spend most of their time doing research, in addition to caring for patients. Graduates of MD/PhD programs often go on to become faculty members at medical schools, universities and research institutes. At CWRU, we continue to strive to develop innovative ways to support clinically relevant research as we train the physician-scientist. Â In collaboration with the Harrington Discovery Institute, MSTP students can now apply for a Harrington-MSTP Scholar Award , which provides funding and drug development support to help translate their promising scientific discoveries into medicines.
