ASCI Physician Scientist Fellowship
Purpose
The American Society for Clinical Investigation (ASCI) is proud to announce its partnership with the Physician Scientist Support Foundation (PSSF), and the establishment of the ASCI PSSF Fellowship Program. Recognizing the shared goal to bolster and sustain the pipeline of scholars entering the workforce, the ASCI has assumed the PSSF, positioning itself to expand innovative training pathways for emerging physician-scientists.
The newly established ASCI PSSF Fellowship Program – formerly the PSSF Medical Student Research Fellowship (MSRF) – will continue to provide single-degree medical students with a one-year, rigorous training experience in biomedical research, guided by dedicated mentors. An eligible candidate must be a single-degree medical student interested in a dual career in research and patient care. They may not be enrolled in a combined degree program.
