NEW! Horstmann Scholarships

In 1961, Dr. Horstmann became the first female professor of medicine at Yale, and in 1969 she was the first woman in the university to hold an endowed chair.

We are pleased to offer the YSM alumni donor community the unique opportunity to name a one-year scholarship for a current medical student in honor of whomever they wish—themselves, a loved one, professor, or a classmate. The Dorothy Horstmann Scholars program recognizes the many generous donors whose leadership annual gifts make possible the dynamic, diverse, and creative environment that defines the Yale School of Medicine experience. For more information on becoming a Horstmann Scholar Donor, please contact Bridget Austin at bridget.austin@yale.edu, or (203) 436-8556.
