Physician-Scientist Training Program

The Ken & Ruth Davee Department of Neurology offers an integrated Physician-Scientist Training Program (PSTP) for graduates of MD/PhD programs and for recently graduated MDs who have had extensive experience in the conduct of research. The intent of this program is to facilitate the transition from neurology residency training to a productive career in biomedical research. Research training will start during the PGY-3 year. The trainees will be given the opportunity to spend their elective months doing either basic or clinical research. Research training will be completed under the mentorship of a faculty member at Northwestern University.
