UCLA Medical Scientist Training Program – Social Sciences Track

UCLA invites highly-qualified applicants to the Social Sciences Track of its well-regarded, NIH-funded Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP).

Trainees in the full-time 8-9 year program will pursue the MD degree concurrently with a PhD in the social sciences field of their interest – History, Anthropology, Sociology, or a related discipline.  They will be prepared to carry out interdisciplinary research studies of medical and health services problems within their cultural, historical, and socioeconomic contexts.  Applicants should indicate their interest in MSTP in their AMCAS application, due November 1, 2013, and will then be asked to submit a supplemental application by December 1.  For more information, see http://mstp.healthsciences.ucla.edu or contact Joel Braslow, MD, PhD, jbraslow@mednet.ucla.edu .
