Physician Scientist Symposium

June 10, 2023

On behalf of the School of Medicine, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the inaugural Physician Scientist Symposium!

At the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC, great effort has been placed on fostering a strong research and clinical environment that supports physician scientists. This starts with the many trainee programs available for those interested in pursuing a career as a physician scientist, including the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP), Physician Scientist Training Program (PSTP), Clinical Scientist Training Program (CSTP) and the Burroughs Wellcome Foundation Scholars; and also includes the many research-track residency opportunities and training positions funded by NIH through institutional T32, R38, and K-grant mechanisms.

This Symposium provides a forum to bring trainees, faculty and alumni from these programs together in an effort to further engender a vibrant physician scientist community. In addition to facilitating connections, this Symposium includes directed sessions of practical strategies to overcome many challenges facing individuals balancing research, clinical care, and life-needs. Our goal is to help attendees to pursue and flourish in their careers. We hope you enjoy the symposium and thank you for making the time to attend!
