Through August, 2004, the
Neuroscience Graduate Program has graduated 50 Ph.D. students and 9 M.D.-Ph.D.
students, a total of 59 doctorates since the program began in 1981. The average
time-to-degree for Ph.D.-degreed graduate students in the NGP is 5.4 years, well
below the national average. NGP doctoral students publish, on average, 5 papers
in refereed journals during their tenure here; combined-degree students, over 3
papers. Of the 59 graduates of the NGP, 73% went directly into one or more
postdoctoral positions; and the remaining 27% entered residency training,
medical school, faculty positions in colleges or medical schools, or research
careers in the military service or biotechnology industry. Many who entered
postdoctoral training, medical school or residency programs have since moved on
into academic and research careers.
To the best of our knowledge, 57 of
the 59 students who have graduated (97%) remain in the academic, research or
health professions line of career development and training. These graduates have
obtained postdoctoral (and residency) positions at the NIH (5 graduates in the
NINDS, NEI, NIDCR and NIMH) and at numerous universities, including the
University of Washington in Seattle (2), University of Manitoba (1), University
of Maryland (1), Columbia University (2), University of Colorado (1), University
of Miami (1), Oregon Health Sciences University (1), Marquette University (1),
Harvard (4), UCSF (3), UCSD (2), UCLA (1), UCI (1), Emory University (2),
University of Manchester (1), University of New Mexico (1), University of
Illinois, Chicago (1), Albert Einstein College of Medicine (1), Wake Forest
University (2), Johns Hopkins University (2), Baylor College of Medicine (3 in
the Neuroscience Graduate Program), Southern Illinois University (1), UT San
Antonio HSC (2), Medical College of Wisconsin (1), University of Arizona Health
Sciences Center (1) and Yale University (4). Four recent graduates have remained
at UTMB in postdoctoral positions or residency training.
Of the older graduates we have been
able to continue to track, they have been or are now employed in research and/or
academic (faculty) careers at the following locations: UCLA (2), Albert Einstein
College of Medicine (1), University of Colorado (1), Neurology, Veterans
Administration, Taiwan (1), FFA Research Laboratory, Oklahoma City (1), SUNY at
Geneseo (1), China Medical College Hospital, Taiwan (1), NASA, Ames Research
Center (1), Yonsei University College of Medicine, Korea (1), Baylor College of
Medicine (1), Baylor University (1), Re Neuron Ltd, Institute of Psychiatry,
London (1), China Medical College, Taiwan (1), University of Houston (1), UTMB
(3), University of Texas at Arlington (1), University of Mississippi Medical
College (1), Louisiana State University Medical Center (1), University of South
Dakota School of Medicine (1), Wake Forest University (Bowman Gray) School of
Medicine (2), and Lasher biotechnology consulting firm (1).
