Gateways to the Laboratory Summer Program

In 1993, the Tri-Institutional MD-PhD Program was the first MD-PhD Program in the country to establish a summer program for undergraduates with a focus on the clinician-scientist pathway. 

As of 2024, 384 students have “graduated” from Gateways. Over 90% of Gateways alumni have either earned are pursuing an MD, MD-PhD, or PhD degree, including 23 who have graduated from or are currently enrolled at Tri-I.

This past fall, the Tri-Institutional student community has been excited to roll out a brand-new seminar series. Titled “Physician-Scientist Career Seminars,” the goal of this new series is to expose MD-PhD students, especially those in the midst of their PhD training, to the diverse career paths open to physician scientists.
Like many others, the Tri-Institutional MD-PhD Program is horrified and disgusted by the attack on our democracy that took place on Wednesday, January 6, and we condemn the rhetoric and violent actions to overturn a democratic election–probably the most secure in the nation’s history.
