Research at Risk: MD-PhD Programs

Ally Questell’s dream is to become a doctor who also advances patient care through research. She hopes to contribute to a world in which cancer is no longer a devastating diagnosis for the millions of Americans who receive it each year. In May, the federal grant that funds her MD-PhD training was terminated. Federal grants for MD-PhD training help prepare people to become both physicians and researchers. “Physician-scientists are uniquely positioned to take problems that they see in the clinic, bring them back to the lab to devise solutions, and then translate that back to the clinic to improve patient lives,” she says. If federal funding for MD-PhD training is not restored, Questell worries that the next generation will not have the same opportunities to become physician-scientists.
