The award of Thesis Honors is intended to recognize outstanding academic achievement in a specific area of study by an individual medical student and to encourage scholarship while pursuing the Doctor of Medicine degree.

Thesis Honors are awarded based on the criteria similar to that of research honors with these additional components:

  • The student must complete a meritorious thesis based on an original contribution to medical science
  • The work must be completed under the sponsorship of a faculty member of the medical school

Students must indicate their intention to apply for Thesis Honors by October of senior year by responding to the message sent to the class listserv. The reply must contain the student’s name, the title of the thesis, the major adviser, and the department affiliation.
