Physician Scientist Training Pathway

Overview

The Department of Pathology at the University of Michigan is deeply committed to training the next generation of leaders in Academic Pathology by fostering the career development of physician scientists in Clinical and Anatomic Pathology. The Physician Scientist Training Pathway (PSTP) provides rigorous clinical training and mentorship in biomedical research in a supportive environment with the objective of helping trainees establish successful careers as independent, funded investigators and outstanding pathologists. This track is in accordance with the American Board of Pathology’s (ABP) recent inclusion of the Physician-Scientist Research Pathway. The Department of Pathology is strongly positioned to offer this training pathway due to its excellent track record in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology residency training, its broad array of ACGME-accredited and subspecialty clinical fellowship programs, and its large, highly successful funded research faculty with diverse research interests.

Application Process

Qualified applicants will be sought among the applications to the residency program through the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS). Candidates may also inquire directly by contacting the program at the same time they submit the ERAS application. A committee of physician-scientists including the Director of Experimental Pathology will review application materials to identify those individuals who will be invited to interview for the PSTP. To best plan the interview experience, those invited to interview will be asked to provide a brief statement describing their potential research interests. Candidates will be ranked through the National Resident Matching Program.
