Doctoral

Clinical Investigation, PhD

Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health 25 courses

About This Program

The PhD degree is our flagship program designed for those who hold a postdoctoral fellowship or junior faculty appointment within the Johns Hopkins Medical Institution (JHMI). It is intended to train sub-specialty physicians, leading to both clinical board eligibility in a medical discipline and a PhD. Students take one year of full-time didactic instruction (minimum of 16 credits/term for 4 consecutive terms) after an initial training year in a medical or surgical subspecialty. This provides the scientific grounding for subsequent original research. GTPCI faculty and a mentor from the fellow’s SOM home division or department jointly mentor thesis research. Fellows already enrolled in a SOM clinical fellowship program usually apply during their first year of clinical training. Students must satisfy all University requirements for the PhD, including preliminary oral examination, thesis preparation, and final oral defense.
