The joint MD/PhD program is a unique arrangement between the Department of Human Genetics and the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP), a collaboration between the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. The program provides the opportunity for students to undertake a physician-scientist training program tailored to specific research interests, provided by the wide range of research that primary and secondary Human Genetics faculty are involved in within Pitt Public Health and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
