ABIM Research Pathway Application Requirements (short track)
For those students who are committed to post-residency subspecialty fellowship training with a major focus on a research career, we encourage you to consider the ABIM Research Pathway which we offer as a track within our Traditional Residency Program.
Application Process
We encourage applicants with strong commitments to research careers to apply for the Yale Physician-Scientist Residency Pathway at the time of application for internal medicine residency training. In addition to the usual application submitted through ERAS, applicants for the Yale Physician-Scientist Research Pathway should send an email with the following information:
- Statement of interest in the Yale Physician-Scientist Residency Pathway
- Areas of possible subspecialty interest so that appropriate interviews with fellowship program(s) can be arranged at the time of residency interviews.
- Names of Yale faculty identified as possible research mentors (not required).
Applicants will be offered admission to the Yale Physician-Scientist Residency Pathway through the regular Match process for the categorical internal medicine residency program. There is not a separate Match listing for the Physician-Scientist Residency Pathway at Yale. However, prior to the date of submission of their residency match lists, selected applicants will receive offers of admission into the Yale Physician-Scientist Research Pathway that guarantee they will be listed to match for internal medicine residency training at Yale.
Please see the ABIM Research Pathway (Yale Physician-Scientist Residency Pathway) page for more information.
