Graduate
Student and Post-Doctoral Research Opportunities
Many
of the faculty in the Department of Laboratory Medicine train Basic
Science PhD and MD/PhD graduate students and post-doctoral fellows
in their research laboratories. The Department does not offer an independent
PhD degree in Laboratory Medicine; instead, the faculty participate
in the major Yale University and Yale School of Medicine PhD programs
in the sciences. One of these programs includes an innovative track
for individuals who already hold an MD degree and who wish to obtain
a PhD degree - the Investigative Medicine PhD program. Application
to these Yale graduate student programs may be made through one of
the following venues:
Applications
for post-doctoral appointments may be made directly with an individual
research laboratory faculty member. Please see the faculty
section of this Web site. In addition, the Department has a specific
basic research training program for post-doctoral MDs, MD/PhDs,
and PhDs interested in a long-term physician-scientist or clinician-scientist
career in the broad discipline of Immunohematology and Transfusion
Medicine. The program is especially relevant to those recently clinically
certified in AP and/or CP, Transfusion Medicine, Hematopathology,
Molecular Diagnostics, Genetics, Medicine/Hematology-Oncology, Allergy
and Immunology or Pediatric Hematology-Oncology. Research mentors
are drawn from a large number of Yale scientists in basic science
and bridge departments. For more information, follow the link below:
Residents
in the Department of Laboratory Medicine also have the opportunity
to carry out investigative work either with Laboratory Medicine faculty
and/or with any Yale faculty member in the Schools
of Medicine, Epidemiology
and Public Health, or Arts
and Sciences. Touring the Yale
University Web site can provide some information on the
broad range of faculty interests within the University. |
