Program (MSTP) will be assigned to the Anatomy
Ph.D. Program according to their interests after
completion of the first two years of medical
school training. The full requirements of the
MSTP program are available in the MSTP
handbook. Research Rotations
MSTP students
may select research rotations with any faculty
advisor participating in the MSTP, and complete
them during their first two years of medical
school training, usually during the summer.
MSTP students who have an interest in selecting
the Anatomy for their departmental affiliation
to earn their Ph.D. degree are encouraged to
establish at least one research rotation in a
laboratory affiliated with the Anatomy program.
