UT Southwestern students describe benefits of a combined M.D./Ph.D. program.
The Medical Scientist Training Program received a $50 million donation from the Perot family that will allow it to accept more students and expand research opportunities.
Kulkarni is getting the best of both worlds as a first-year student in the Medical Scientist Training Program at UT Southwestern Medical Center. The program allows students like Kulkarni to pursue both medicine and research, graduating with an M.D. from UT Southwestern Medical School and a Ph.D. from UT Southwestern Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences in seven to eight years.
On the other hand, students with different interests in research and medicine still gain valuable experience, improving patients’ lives in the short term and conducting research that may lead to medical advancements down the line. Mellema considered how different brain areas might vary their signals to each other in Parkinson’s patients, aiming to predict how severe their Parkinson’s might get over the next one to two years.
James Elder, a fifth-year student in the program, said the program demands endurance. He said the initial transition from two years of medical training to the graduate degree can feel like “going back to scratch.”
