A dual degree program established in 1979 between the Medical School and the graduate school allowing students to complete the requirements for the Ph.D. and M.D. degree on an accelerated pace aimed at producing research scientists. Records include planning, operation, and policy committee minutes; admissions and recruiting material; curriculum files, and budgetary material and grant applications.
The records of the Medical Scientist Training Program are predominantly agendas and minutes of committee meetings. The collection is divided into five series: Administrative, Admissions and Recruiting, Committee Agendas and Minutes, Correspondence, and Curriculum and unit publications. The bulk of the collection is dated from 1979 through 1989.
