The Division of Physician Scientists provides programs to address training gaps for residents, fellows, and junior faculty pursuing a research career.
These programs target different career stages, from early clinical training to faculty appointment, in order to address known points of attrition in the physician-scientist pipeline.
The Interesting Patient Study (TIPS)
Many successful physician-scientists can recall a patient they saw during their clinical training who sparked their interest in investigation. TIPS allows residents and fellows to further investigate their interesting patients in collaboration with a mentor.
Community of Academic Physician-Scientists in Training (CAPSiT)
CAPSiT aims to bring together physician-scientist trainees across the School of Medicine and support their career development through seminars, workshops, and networking and mentorship activities. CAPSiT events are open to all and are relevant to many career stages, from medical students to faculty.
Dean’s Scholars
The Dean’s Scholars program supports exceptional MD-only physician-scientist trainees in their final years of mentored training before launching their independent research program.
