This semester, 69 talented undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students from across the United States began participating in the Yale Program to Advance Training in Health and Sciences, or PATHS, a series of virtual workshops and conversations that expose them to MD, MD/PhD, and PhD training programs, faculty, and near-peer mentors at Yale School of Medicine.
The year-long program, which began in August and is set to run until July 2021, was launched as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
