Welcome. The American Physician Scientists Association (APSA) is dedicated to addressing the needs of future physician scientists with a focus on training and career development.

Are you a recent physician-scientist graduate currently in a residency / fellowship program or recently entered into a faculty position? The Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation is offering two funding opportunities: Fellowship Awards and Clinical Investigator Awards. Follow the links for more information, the submission deadlines for this year's cycle are March 15, 2010 and March 1, 2010 respectively, so apply today!
Each Spring, the Massachusetts General Hospital, the Karolinska Institutet and Cell Press co-organize the Days of Molecular Medicine Symposium (DMM). An important component of this event is the MD-PhD Program, this program provides full scholarships for up to 40 MD-PhDs to attend the meeting. This year's symposium is entitled "Systems Biology Approaches to Cancer and Metabolic Disease". The meeting agenda can be found here.
The NIH MD/PhD Partnership Training Program is an alternative to traditional MD/PhD training. NIH combined-degree students obtain all or part of their Ph.D. research training in one of the more than one thousand biomedical research laboratories in the NIH intramural research program. Supplemental MSTP funding is available to students attending many combined degree programs. Undergraduates should apply simultaneously with applications to University MD/PhD programs, and first or second year medical students can also apply. The NIH Oxford-Cambridge Scholars Ph.D. Program has been particularly popular among students pursuing M.D./Ph.D. training at NIH. This fully-funded accelerated doctoral program allows students to set up dual-mentored Ph.D. research projects involving laboratories at NIH and at either Oxford or Cambridge Universities in England. Other Ph.D. training programs are also available through the NIH Graduate Partnership Programs, and individual partnerships with a Ph.D. program at a students’ Medical School are also possible. You can sign up for the mailing list, contact mdphd@mail.nih.gov to receive more information, or apply. APSA member Cedar Fowler has joined the NIH MD/PhD partnership program as an NIH-Cambridge scholar and written an article for ACPOnline about the various programs available at the NIH for medical students.
