<p>Looking around it appears that some med schools have a (somewhat) formalized research track of some sort , sometimes as a Master's , sometimes times just as a "pull-out year" . It appears to my untrained eye that Case through it's Lerner program, Yale, Baylor, UT Southwestern have programs set up to accomodate this. I know there are others , does anybody have a list? Or other names?</p>
<p>It's intriguing.</p>
<p>The epic one of them all is Duke. Full year of research in third year and can be highly customized. Amazing.</p>
<p>Northwestern and its Research Thesis Program (RTP).</p>
<p>stanford has a program- it's a 5 year program and you do research for at least a year.</p>
<p>ec, I looked at that in the MSAR. I need to look at the Stanford site because when I read what MSAR had in the blurb I was concerned (med school can last 4-6 years but don't worry -we don't charge much for the extra time :eek: or words to that effect).</p>
