Students in Combined Research Training Program
Ph.D. Thesis in Lieu of M.D. Thesis
For students
enrolled in the combined M.D./Ph.D. Program, the doctoral
thesis submitted to and approved by the Graduate School
will serve in lieu of the thesis requirement of the
Medical School. The Graduate School awards degrees twice
a year, in late fall (November or December, depending on
the Corporation schedule) and May. In order to guarantee
consideration by the appropriate Graduate School
Committee on Degrees, the dissertation must be submitted
by September 15 for a fall degree, or March 15 for a May
degree. Students planning to submit the dissertation on
March 15 for a May degree, however, should make every
effort to file the petition by March 1, so that planning
for commencement ceremonies can proceed in a timely
fashion. If the Ph.D. has not been completed, a separate
M.D. thesis must be submitted to qualify for the M.D.
degree.
M.D./M.P.H. Program
For students in the M.D./M.P.H. Program, one thesis
satisfies both degree requirements provided it is
approved and carried out under a Yale faculty member of
the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health and is
in an appropriate subject area. The same regulations
concerning the dates of the M.D. thesis submission and
review by the appropriate departmental committee will
apply.
