Starting with the School of Medicine graduating class of 2002, the Medical Library and Office of Student Research have begun a collaboration to electronically publish the full text of student MD theses on the Internet as a valuable byproduct of student research efforts and original source material to researchers throughout the world. Since 2006, all graduating medical students participate and are given the option to make their thesis publicly accessible immediately, after a delay to allow for journal publication, or accessible on the Yale campus only in perpetuity. More than 75% of the MD theses eventually become part of the publicly accessible collection.
