End Poverty Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 I am wondering if anybody has any perspective/experience with pursuing a Phd during residency. How is this done? From my understanding, one would do the Phd during the fourth year of a five year residency. Is this the case? Are graduate degrees pursued during residency funded by the program? I have heard that you get to finish a Phd a year earlier if it is done during residency. Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard Toronto neurosurg strongly encourages you to do one during residency but my understanding was it takes multiple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want you to pass your LMCC part 2 and POS (if you're in a surgical specialty). It depends on the program, the institution, and your supervisor. You should talk to your PD. Graduate degrees pursued during residency may be funded by the program on an individual basis, but they will push you to get a CIP (limited in #) so that they won't have to pay for you. PhD's is not like other schooling where you put in a finite amount of time and your done. It's based on your work, and how much you do. I've seen residents finish their PhD in 3 years, when others finish in 5/6 at the same institution. But I've heard that they do try to push you along quicker/are more lenient when you're CIP/SSP.
