We are the South Texas Medical Scientist Training Program (STX-MSTP) at UT Health San Antonio. Our MSTP is an NIH-awarded, dual degree MD/PhD training program.
Happy holidays to our STX-MSTP community and followers. Stay safe this holiday season by following current CDC guidelines on small and large gatherings!
Three fantastic physician-scientists matched today! Our results:

Brett Ipson – Pediatrics/Hem/Onc PSTP at UT Southwestern
#MatchDay2020
This weekend I was supposed to join @stxmstp & @drjosecavazos at their #mdphd#doubledoc retreat to engage in a talk about mentoring for physician-scientists.
Clearly it’s not happening now due to #COVID19, but I look forward to reconnecting soon!
