Program to advance training in health and science (PATHS)

Program to Advance Training in Health and Science (PATHS), a 10-month virtual initiative that provides undergraduate students or recent graduates with a transformative learning experience to support their goal of applying for and earning an MD, MD/Ph.D., or Ph.D. in biomedical sciences. This is a great opportunity for students from underrepresented groups who are:
(1) two years out from applying to an MD, MD/Ph.D., or a Ph.D. program in the biomedical sciences (applying in 2025 for matriculation in 2026)
(2) who may lack similar programs or resources at their institutions. 


Students will be divided into three tracks according to the advanced degree (MD, MD/Ph.D., and Ph.D.) they are committed to pursuing. Each advanced degree track will have 20 students, for a total of 60 students in the entire cohort.

All students will have the following benefits and expectations: 

Trainings - Monthly online workshops and conversations about topics related to preparing for and applying to MD, MD/Ph.D., or Ph.D. degree programs. 
Mentoring Program - Be mentored by current MD, MD/Ph.D., or Ph.D. candidates at Yale School of Medicine (YSM).
Opportunities & Community of Support - Become part of a supportive network of peers and role models and receive regular notices about professional and career advancement opportunities at Yale and beyond.
 

Application opens February 1st, 2024, and closes March 28th, 2024
Program runs from August 2023 to May 2024.
