Each program has received an email to update us with your information and the Google Form will continue to be checked intermittently.
If you are a current student and want to share advice or lessons learned, please contribute to our new advice page .
This site is meant to help students learn about programs across the country. We hope to make this especially useful for students from underrepresented groups and whose universities have less experience with the MD-PhD track and admissions.
For applicants, please keep in mind that there is way more to programs than you will find on this website, including some of the most important characteristics like the feel of the mstp community. If a program shares information that is not necessarily flattering, I think they deserve credit for transparency. Data availability is important and we hope this website helps with that.
