Healthcare challenges of the 21st century in the U.S. require well-trained physician-scientists to bridge the gap
between groundbreaking biomedical research and community-engaged research to transform healthcare and
improve health outcomes for all. The University of Louisville (UofL) Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP)
prepares physician-scientists to lead biomedical and community-engaged research that addresses the root
causes of disease and improves health outcomes across health-challenged populations. With MSTP support,
we will expand our program from 5 to 6 annual trainees, enhance our competency-guided curriculum, and
strengthen the integration of clinical, translational, and community-partnered research. UofL is one of 102 U.S.
institutions with both Carnegie R1 and Community Engaged classifications, offering exceptional infrastructure
for training in both basic science and community-engaged (CE) clinical research. Our objectives are to: 1: Expand
the program from five to six annual matriculants and focus on recruiting trainees passionate about community-
engaged health research. 2: Implement a competency-guided curriculum ensuring mastery of ten core
competencies required in physician-scientists, including the conduct of rigorous research leveraging foundational
knowledge, patient care, communication skills, grantsmanship, leadership, and drive to provide CE healthcare.
3: Enhance mentoring through faculty training via the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in
Research (CIMER) training framework, augmented with peer mentoring, MSTP specific case-based scenarios,
and self-assessments supporting students and building a mentoring environment safe for all students. 4: Support
transitions across training stages with structured resources, including a clinical re-immersion course, longitudinal
clinical experiences during research years, and opportunities in clinical trials and translational research. 5:
Leverage alumni for mentorship and networking through retreats, newsletters, and program evaluations. 6:
Foster innovation through entrepreneurial opportunities through partnerships with existing UofL centers of
excellence in bio-innovation and translational research. 7: Enhance residency competitiveness by promoting
early research involvement, strong publication records, CE clinical research experience, and participation in
physician-scientist events. 8: Mitigate attrition by prioritizing student wellness and promoting a safe and
supportive training environment. Over the past five years, graduates have published an average of 8 papers (3.6
first author), secured competitive fellowships (e.g., NIH F30, Fulbright), and matched into top-tier residency
programs. Our programmatic curriculum includes longitudinal CE training, specialized distinction tracks in
public/global health, education, business/leadership, medicine/social impact, as well as biodesign/innovation. By
embedding CE and clinical research competencies across all t
