National MD/PhD Program Outcomes Study

[i_wanna_be_Brown]

As the resident MD/PhD (hey, and soon to be MD/PhD resident!) felt like I should post this massive study of all MSTP graduates:

According to the study:

Nearly 80% of survey respondents are following career paths consistent with the goals of their training, including working as full-time faculty or for the NIH, research institutes, industry, and federal agencies.

More than 75% of survey respondents conduct research, and most have research grant support.

Time spent in the research and clinical settings for physician-scientists in academia varies widely, with more than 50% of survey respondents spending at least half their time conducting research and nearly 23% devoting most of their time to clinical activities.

Trainee diversity is increasing, but slowly. While MD-PhD programs have moved in the direction of greater diversity by sex, race, and ethnicity, enrollee diversity still lags behind that of medical schools as a whole.
