hey folks
just wondering which schools are psycho about research. i am not terribly interested in lab/bench research and would like to avoid applying to these.

While research doesn't have to mean bench work...

Schools that stress research the most from my impression have been stanford, duke, washu, yale, and case western.

Schools that really like research from my impression have been the rest of the top 10-20 ie michigan, uchicago, cornell, columbia, penn etc

I hope UMDNJ isn't too big on research.

Most schools dont require any research at all from its medical students. The schools listed below are the only schools that require a thesis for graduation, but you can get away without doing one by doing a dual-degree program at most of the schools.



Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University
Duke University School of Medicine
George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences
Mayo Medical School
University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine
University of New Mexico School of Medicine
University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry
University of Washington School of Medicine
Yale University School of Medicine

I'm sure more have added this component as well, but Case now requires a thesis for graduation as well.

Stanford is pretty research heavy. Students are encouraged to take an extra year or two for research. I don't believe it's required, though.

Pitt now has some sort of research/project requirement. Its new and I haven't had a chance to look up the details yet.

It seems that most med schools are moving towards encouraging students to get involved in research. While it isn't a requirement in most schools, it certainly is encouraged.

But research is a very broad term that includes much more than just bench work...it could mean health policy work, tranlational studies, or clinical work.

As a current U of R student, this is a slightly misleading statement to say that UofR requires a "thesis." At this point, and the requirement is very much in flux, a hypothesis driven research project is required at graduation. This is NOT months of bench research; often people are doing chart-review or trying to define practice habits when a new therapy/diagnostic test/protocol is put in place.

While I love research, and would advocate for Rochester being the type of place to start a career in academic medicine, I think it's misleading to suggest that it is a research heavy medical school curriculum (not that the poster that I'm quoting said that, just that that may be the impression people take away).

stanford requires a scholarly paper in an area of concentration in order to graduate. this can be a product of anything from bench research to a community outreach project, depending on the track. luckily substantial funding is available even though it is required.
