In the fall of 2004, the Executive Council approved a proposal to establish a new MD-PhD Section of the GREAT. Membership in this body includes the faculty who serve as the institutional leaders of MD-PhD programs (MSTP and others) at medical schools.

The mission of the MD-PhD Section is to advance the education, training and career development of physician-scientists, with an emphasis on training in the MD-PhD programs of LCME accredited medical schools. Individuals who are trained as both physicians and scientists make unique contributions to biomedical research, the translation of that research from theory to practice, and the leadership of academic health centers. The Section will promote the development, growth, and nurturing of physician-scientist training programs by representing the interests of MD-PhD programs and their students in the areas of admissions, educational programs, scientific curricula, research and clinical training, and post-graduate career development. To accomplish this, the Section will strive to:

foster the development of innovative and successful methods for the education, training, and career development of physician-scientists across the spectrum of basic and clinical research;

promote the sharing of these methods and the rigorous evaluation of their success;

advocate for a continuing investment in the education and development of physician-scientists at all stages of their training and careers, and;

serve as a resource within GREAT and the AAMC on matters relating to the Section's areas of interest and expertise.

The goals of the MD-PhD Section include:

facilitating and enhancing the ability of institutions to improve human health through the education and training of physician-scientists.

aiding in the optimization of the training of physician-scientists at the pre- and post-graduate levels so as to improve the likelihood that they will become successful investigators in a timely manner.

gathering and analyzing data in support of its mission.

advocating for effective integration of training and career pathways for physician-scientists at institutional, local, and national levels.

educating the public and policy makers regarding the contribution of physician-scientists in the discovery and translation of biomedical research into human disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

fostering networking and information exchange among MD-PhD programs and their leadership, and

coordinating and engaging with entities within the AAMC that have complementary and/or overlapping interests.

Looking for something to read to help develop your understanding of the profession?   Here are some suggestions in no particular order:

The Health Gap by Michael Marmot

Bush Doctors by Annabelle Brayley features 16 remarkable doctors from rural and remote Australia. Here is an excerpt from the foreword to the book: "The book tells the stories of the inspiring doctors who challenge these beliefs (i.e., the city is where the best care happens, that good care needs a super-specialist) every day with their altruism, enthusiasm, and refreshing approach to the complexities of delivering quality and expert care in resource-poor environments. Rural doctors know there is no better care than that provided to people in their own homes and towns, and it is their collective story that is driving the renaissance of interest in rural medicine as a viable, and rewarding career for young students in medicine."

Against All Odds by Craig Challen and Richard Harris.  This is the story about the Thai cave rescue told by the Anesthesiologist and the Vet involved in the rescue in 2018. It highlights ingenuity, resilience, adaptability, expertise, and teamwork. Here's a short radio interview with Dr. Harris (youtu.be/KJ7p-awci2A).  This story has been made into a movie (Thirteen Lives) and is available on Amazon Prime (www.amazon.com/Thirteen-Lives-Viggo-Mortensen/dp/...).

An externship experience at an NVA hospital will give students the unique opportunity to understand the day-to-day operations of the practice, and to gain valuable hands-on clinical experience. Although every NVA hospital is unique, we all have some things in common: an environment that is supportive, committed to excellent medicine, and provides exceptional service to animals and the people who love them.

Students will work closely with the supervising Associate Veterinarians to gain experience in gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, creation of treatment plans, diagnostics, dentistry services, observing/assisting or performing surgical procedures, and medical management of patients. In addition to practicing their clinical skills, student externs will have the opportunity to practice their communication skills with the medical team, support staff, and clients.

Most externship experiences at Braden River Animal Hospital range from two to eight weeks depending on student and hospital schedules. All veterinary students (regardless of class year) are encouraged to participate in NVA externships.

Veterinary students who are in the clinical portion of their education are eligible for a travel/living expense stipend.
