The University of Florida College of Medicine M.D.-Ph.D. training program has become Florida's first public institution to earn the milestone Medical Scientist Training Program status, a prestigious honor awarded to fewer than 60 programs nationwide.

MSTP status provides additional funding from the National Institutes of Health for larger class sizes and additional activities, creating more pathways for clinician-scientists and strengthening the nation’s future biomedical researchers.
