PhD Departments and Programs

At the end of the second year of medical school, students choose a department in which to do thesis research. The typical student spends a year doing rotations and then chooses a PhD mentor, but some are ready to choose the mentor and research lab by the end of the second year of medical school. Duke has a wide variety of departments and programs in which students can do the PhD. Much work at Duke is cross-departmental and interdisciplinary. A student may choose a mentor in one department and at the same time work closely with others across department lines.
