“…Another 96 articles were then eliminated because they did not meet the above criteria. Although the Duke MD-PhD Program (Bradford, Anthony, Chu, & Pizzo, 1996) and the Mayo Clinic MD-PhD Program (Dyrbye, Lindor, LaRusso, & Cook, 2008) are part of the NIGMS Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP), and thus also included in the MSTP data, outcomes data from each program were also considered separately, as the Duke and Mayo studies were more detailed in their descriptions of physician duties. Of the initial 1,294 publications, nine articles remained for systematic review (see Figure 1).…”

“…The MSTP (Irene Glowinski, James, Christina, & Georgine, 1998), Duke MD-PhD Program (Bradford et al, 1996), and Mayo Clinic MD-PhD Program (Dyrbye et al, 2008) (Segal, Black, Schwentker, & Pellegrini, 2006), and Child Neurology Research Pathway (Percy, Juul, & Scheiber, 2004) all offer training at the postgraduate level. The Cloister Program (Fang & Meyer, 2003) and the Medical Fellows Program (Fang & Meyer, 2003) both offer training to medical students.…”

The declining number of physician scientists is an alarming issue. A systematic review of all existing programs described in the literature was performed, so as to highlight which programs may serve as the best models for the training of successful physician scientists. Multiple databases were searched, and 1,294 articles related to physician scientist training were identified. Preference was given to studies that looked at number of confirmed publications and/or research grants as primary outcomes. Thirteen programs were identified in nine studies. Eighty-three percent of Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) graduates, 77% of Clinician Investigator Training Program (CI) graduates, and only 16% of Medical Fellows Program graduates entered a career in academics. Seventy-eight percent of MSTP graduates succeeded in obtaining National Institute of Health (NIH) grants, while only 15% of Mayo Clinic National Research Service Award-T32 graduates obtained NIH grants. MSTP physician scientists who graduated in 1990 had 13.5 ± 12.5 publications, while MSTP physician scientists who graduated in 1975 had 51.2 ± 38.3 publications. Additionally, graduates from the Mayo Clinic's MD-PhD Program, the CI Program, and the NSRA Program had 18.2 ± 20.1, 26.5 ± 24.5, and 17.9 ± 26.3 publications, respectively. MSTP is a successful model for the training of physician scientists in the United States, but training at the postgraduate level also shows promising outcomes. An increase in the number of positions available for training at the postgraduate level should be considered.

“…The foremost priority for schools is the selection of students to become future physicians but not necessarily future physician-scientists. Schools with strong research missions have greater incentive to train physician-scientists and accordingly select students with more intensive research backgrounds (16). In general, medical students should undergo rigorous education in basic science and be more exposed to research opportunities as formal components of their UME (22).…”
