General requirements

The review of completed applications by the MD-PhD Program begin in September. Invitations to interview will be sent via email from September to February.
MD-PhD candidates who are invited for interviews will visit Yale and the Program over a two-day period. The purpose of these interviews is to give you an opportunity to indicate your interests and experiences that led you to consider combining medicine in all its ramifications with research – the essence of being a physician-scientist. On the first day, you will be interviewed by two faculty members on the Medical School Admissions Committee.
There are no set English test minimums for admission, but incoming doctoral students who received a score of 25 or below on the TOEFL Speaking section are required to participate in a Summer English Language program at Yale in August prior to matriculation.
