Postgraduate choices of graduates from medical scientist training programs, 2004-2008.

摘要

To the Editor: There have been questions about the efficacy of Medical Scientist Training Programs (MSTPs) in training the next generation of physician-scientists.Although studies have identified postgraduate specialty choices of a subset of these students,to our knowledge none have generated data based on a complete evaluation of graduates from all MSTPs. To better understand postgraduate choices of all National Institutes of Health (NIH)-sponsored MSTP graduates, we conducted a census of graduates from 2004 to 2008.
