Job Description

Yale University offers a fully funded MD-PhD program through its School of Medicine. This program is designed to train physician-scientists by integrating clinical medicine and research, preparing graduates for careers in academic medicine, biomedical research, and healthcare leadership.

Program Overview

  • Degree: MD-PhD

  • Institution: Yale University School of Medicine

The program typically spans 7 to 8 years, encompassing:

  1. Pre-clinical medical education

  2. PhD research and dissertation

  3. Clinical clerkships​

Students can pursue PhD studies in various fields, including:​

  • Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS)

  • Public Health

  • Engineering and Applied Sciences

  • Other disciplines within the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences

Funding Package

All admitted MD-PhD students receive comprehensive financial support throughout the duration of the program, which includes:​

  • Full Tuition Coverage: Covers both medical and graduate school tuition

  • Stipend: Provides a living stipend to support living expenses

  • Health Insurance: Comprehensive health coverage for students​

This funding is contingent upon maintaining good academic standing. The program itself provides stipend support during the initial years and the final ~1.5 years after the PhD defense. During the PhD research phase, financial support is typically provided by the student’s research mentor or through external fellowships.

Admission Requirements

  • Application Process: Applicants must apply through the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) and indicate their interest in the MD-PhD program.

  • Standardized Tests: MCAT scores are required; GRE scores may be required for certain PhD programs.

  • Letters of Recommendation: Typically, three to four letters are required, highlighting academic and research abilities.

  • Research Experience: Demonstrated research experience is essential.

For applicants interested in “non-traditional” PhD programs (e.g., Anthropology, History of Science and Medicine), additional materials such as writing samples and specific letters of recommendation may be required .​
