Medical Scientist Grant Rounds

Medical Scientist Grand Rounds (MSGR) is a cornerstone of the MSTP curriculum, required monthly for all MD-PhD students from matriculation through the completion of the PhD phase and return to clinical training. MSGR provides a structured forum where senior trainees present a clinical case followed by a discussion of their related dissertation research, highlighting the critical connections between patient care and scientific investigation. By fostering translational thinking, honing presentation skills, and encouraging interdisciplinary dialogue, MSGR strengthens students' ability to integrate clinical insights with basic and translational research. The series also builds a vibrant community of physician-scientists, preparing students for careers that bridge the lab and the clinic to drive advances in human health.
