This Office is dedicated exclusively to student research and serves as a central resource to assist Yale Medical Students with the planning, implementation and completion of research leading to a thesis.  Student services offered by the Office of Student Research include the following:
  • Provides up-to-date lists of faculty research interests
  • Offers advice to students searching for research projects
  • Maintains information about past student projects
  • Assists students in finding and applying for research funding
     The Office of Student Research is under the direction of Dr. John N. Forrest, Jr. Specific questions about the thesis requirement should be directed to Donna Carranzo, Janet Wooten or Dr. Forrest at the Office of Student Research, 3rd Floor Harkness Dorm, 310 ESH, 785-6633.

     The results will be kept anonymous, and any feedback to the individual faculty member will be made over a three to four year interval and will be a summarized statement, not involving reproduction or direct quotes from this form.
     These evaluations have been immensely valuable to students initiating thesis projects. Please return the form to the Office of Student Research, ESH 310.  Thank you for your cooperation in this effort.
