Path to Medicine: Navigating the MD-PhD Journey

In this episode of the UMich Med Mosaic podcast, M3 host Mohika Nagpal leads a discussion with three University of Michigan Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) fellows as they share insights on balancing MD training and PhD research. Hannah Carter, Caleb Cheng and Philip Barrison talk about finding mentors, the structure of their weeks, and navigating the transition from classrooms and clinics to labs and research. They also share how they get involved in the MSTP community and other med school creative outlets—like the annual Smoker musical—that keep them grounded. Whether you're considering an MD-PhD or just curious about life as a physician scientist, this conversation offers helpful insights into the MSTP path.
