INFORMATION FOR

One-year Fellowships

The Medical School encourages students to consider a fifth year devoted to research. This one-year fellowship is facilitated by charging no tuition for the extra year and by the provision of a limited number of stipends that can be paid to students. Approximately 15-25 students per year receive competitive one-year medical student research fellowships funded by internal and external sources. All stipends are paid directly to the student and are considered taxable income. Students in their third year of medical school are eligible to apply.

Forms

To apply for a Yale sponsored one-year fellowship, follow the instructions in the application.
