The University of Pittsburgh Physician Scientist Training Program (PSTP) was established in 2007 to develop leaders in academic medicine. We are interested in fostering an environment where our students learn the skills necessary to become future pioneers in research—taking ownership of their projects and seeking external sources of funding to help facilitate the development of their ideas.

PSTP enriches the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine curriculum with an additional year of basic or translational research training. Upon graduating, PSTP students will have acquired the knowledge, skills, and experience to begin careers in some of the most exciting areas of academic medicine.

In addition to efficiency, the close integration of clinical and basic science training better reflects the future careers of academic physicians. By paralleling other specialty training programs, interested students have the capability of efficiently transferring into other well-established Pittsburgh training programs (e.g., the Medical Scientist Training Program)

Welcome to the Department of Computer Science at the University of Pittsburgh, one of the first such departments in the United States. We hope that you enjoy your stay with us today.

Our department is one of three departments and programs belonging to Pitt’s School of Computing and Information. Our Oakland campus is home to over 26,000 students.

The University of Pittsburgh is located in the Oakland cultural section of the city of Pittsburgh. Pitt is ranked 13th among all public, and 59th among all universities in the Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education rankings. Symbolic of the University is the 42-story Gothic structure called the Cathedral of Learning, which is the second tallest academic structure in the world and features unique nationality rooms which pay tribute to the heritage of Western Pennsylvania.
