Affiliated Institutions

Although Yale-New Haven Hospital serves as the focal point for residency training, a portion of the educational experience is acquired in our affiliated institutions. Every resident spends a minimum of one or two months of their residency at the VA Connecticut Healthcare System in West Haven (3 miles away). This gives the resident a chance to work in a different venue and with a the medically complex veteran population. During their chronic pain rotation, each resident spends a month in the offices and procedure rooms of Dr. Lawrence Kirschenbaum, a specialist in the management of chronic pain.
