The Office of Student Research’s mission is executed at the departmental level by “departmental thesis chairs,” who comprise Yale School of Medicine’s (YSM) formal Departmental Thesis Chair Committee. These individuals serve a critical role in the cultivation and management of YSM’s student research enterprise and fulfill myriad roles related to medical student research at YSM.
If you would like to share input or are interested in the work of this committee, please contact co-chairs Erica Herzog or Sarwat Chaudhry. Please note, department chairs nominate members of this committee.
