Fast Tracking Procedures for students enrolled PRIOR to Fall 2022:

Students who were already registered in the M.Sc. program in Experimental Medicine prior to Fall 2022 may transfer to the Ph.D. program by applying to the Graduate 香蕉视频 Committee. This option is open to students who have shown superior research progress and who meet the following requirements at the time of application:

• The student has completed or is in the process of completing, at the time of application, the 9 course credits required and has a cGPA of not less than 3.5 in his/her M.Sc. studies to date (Note that if the student is still in the process of completing the required course credits, the file will be judged on the student's record to date (both undergraduate and graduate) and the plausibility of the student's meeting the cGPA requirement for fast-tracking. Also, students who wish to fast-track for the January semester must have completed at least 6 of the 9 course credits in the terms previous to the fall term in which they apply.

• The student has had his/her first annual Thesis Committee meeting and has obtained a favorable assessment from the committee. The student MUST have informed the committee of his/her intention to fast-track to the Ph.D. program IN ADVANCE (i.e. at the time when the notice of the meeting is sent to all committee members). Information regarding annual meetings can be found under Guidelines (PDF). It should be emphasized that fast-tracking represents a serious long-term commitment by both student and supervisor and, to warrant a favorable assessment, the Thesis Committee must judge that the student has a good understanding of the scope of his/her project and knowledge of background material to complete a Ph.D. The Committee will review the application to judge the likelihood of successful completion as a Ph.D. thesis. The decision to promote a student will be based on the student鈥檚 performance in course and seminars, progress in research, as well as the supervisor鈥檚 recommendation.

To fast-track, the student must contact the Division to notify us that they meet all of the criteria and intend to apply to fast-track, (DO NOT APPLY WITHOUT FIRST HAVING NOTIFIED US!). The Division will then create a profile in Slate and then notify you via e-mail to submit an application via Slate. This will make it possible for the student to apply to fast-track without having to once again submit all required documentation normally required. Note that the deadlines are the same as those for new students. Additional details about the application deadlines is available here.

The following documents must be submitted to our office (via e-mail) by the deadline (forms can be found here:聽Forms and Documents | Division of Clinical and Translational Research - 香蕉视频)

• a letter of support from the student鈥檚 supervisor which details the student鈥檚 research progress and which recommends the student鈥檚 promotion to the Ph.D. program
• the minutes of the Thesis Committee meeting which recommends the student for fast-tracking
• a Confirmation of Supervision for (PDF) signed by both the student and supervisor
• a "Research Project Proposal" Form
• an updated Letter of Understanding

Please note that NO EXCEPTION can be made to these deadlines.

Following acceptance of the application by the Committee, the student will be transferred to the Ph.D. program at the Ph.D. 2 level. The student will be expected to complete 9 additional credits (in order to bring their total credits to 18).
