Our Clinical Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree program allows a resident to conduct an independent investigation during residency training. This research is directed at adding new information in the resident's speciality field and culminates with a completed thesis.
To become a candidate for this degree, a resident must: 1) be accepted into a PCOM-approved or PCOM MedNET approved residency program; 2) submit an application form indicating approval of the residency program director; and 3) develop a research proposal.
Candidates for this degree will submit their proposal during the first year of residency. It is expected that all work on the research project will be completed by midpoint of the final year of the program (see thesis completion calendar).
