UChicago's MSTP currently supports 78 total students from across the U.S. and from a variety of academic backgrounds. Approximately 50% are completing the MD and the other 50% are completing the PhD at any one time. We welcome cohorts of ~9-10 new students annually, and new students begin in summer quarter (mid-June). Some of our students complete one or more gap years prior to entering, while others begin directly following their undergraduate studies.
Our MSTP values a supportive community of students through a structured peer mentoring program (MSTP Sibs), student-led social events, faculty talks, an annual all-program retreat, networking and career exploration opportunities, service and outreach in the surrounding Hyde Park neighborhood and other geographic areas, as well as many other aspects of student life.
