# MSTP Horizons

MSTP Horizons is a longitudinal career development series designed to support MD-PhD students throughout all phases of their training. Horizons provides structured guidance on lab rotations, research planning, funding strategies, and physician-scientist career pathways. Through small-group advising, workshops, and interactive sessions, students develop essential skills to navigate research and clinical transitions, identify strong mentorship relationships, plan for physician-scientist residencies, and build sustainable, impactful careers at the intersection of science and medicine.
