A Day in the Life PeoplePeople Students Alumni Administration and Staff Contact Us Open Search Special Events The Medical Scientist Training Program hosts numerous events throughout the year. Whether it is an event of a scientific nature, such as the monthly Discussions on Medical Research or a purely social occasion, such as the Winter Dinner all events are designed to bring our students together for interaction across class lines. Scientific ideas are exchanged in an informal setting; junior students seek advice form those that have &＃8220;been there and done that&＃8221; and everyone, administrators and students alike, have a chance to take a breath and catch up. MSTP Weekly Meeting The MSTP Weekly Meeting takes place every Thursday from 5:00 to 6:00. This event is designed to bring together the MSTP community for discussion of issues that are of particular interest to physician-scientists. MSTP students plan the Weekly Meeting, with guidance from the MSTP staff. The schedule is a follows: The schedule 1st Thursday: Future of Medicine Guest speakers lead an open discussion around a particular clinical problem. The speaker describes the problem, the current state of research and offers insight on how the problem might be solve. 2nd Thursday: Work-in-Progress Senior MSTP students present their research in a wide-open format. 3rd Thursday: Discussions on Medical Research Established nearly 40 years ago, the Discussions on Medical Research features a practicing physician-scientist musing about medicine, research, career and life. Speakers offer advice on career planning, balancing work and home life, running a lab, etc. 4th Thursday: Wild Card Something different each month. Typical activities include: seminars by physician-scientists from other institutions; panel discussions on selecting a thesis lab or PSTP residency programs; students reporting on medical mission trips or the American Physician-Scientists Association; MSTP Town Hall meetings; receptions honoring graduating seniors or retiring MSTP committee members; and Thank-Goodness-It&＃8217;s-Almost-Friday&＃8217;s. The MSTP Weekly Meeting is open to clinical faculty and physician-scientists-in-training. A light dinner or appetizers are served, and informal interactions and networking are encouraged. Annual retreat A weekend retreat is held annually for the MSTP. The 2023 retreat will take place on May 20th at Bauer and Knight Halls on the Danforth campus. Students present their research and participate in group discussions on issues relating to biomedical research and academic medicine. A distinguished WashU MSTP graduate gives the keynote address.

Yearly class function The MSTP sponsors a group social activity for individual classes every year. These events give each class a chance to reconnect and catch up with one another. It is especially helpful during the graduate training years as people are dispersed in the labs across the university. Activities range from camping at a state park to dinner at an elegant restaurant to a backyard bash. Student Life Special Events Calendar Why WashU?
