Yale-Waterbury Internal Medicine Residency Program

Waterbury Hospital serves as the primary site of a Yale-sponsored internal medicine training program, Yale-Waterbury Internal Medicine Residency Program, joining the Department of Internal Medicine’s Yale Traditional, Yale Primary Care, and Yale Medicine/Pediatrics Residency Programs.

The residency curriculum, implemented by talented residents and faculty hailing from a diverse set of backgrounds, also includes the extensive resources and collegial environments of the Yale School of Medicine and Yale New Haven Hospital. Residents can partake in rotations at both Yale New Haven Hospital campusesand at the VA Connecticut Healthcare System in West Haven. As a Yale School of Medicine and Yale New Haven Hospital program, we offer our residents exceptional leadership, research, and global health opportunities. These experiences include participating in the Yale/Stanford Global Health Scholars Program [link: https://medicine.yale.edu/intmed/globalhealthscholars/], the Yale Resident Fellow Senate [link: https://medicine.yale.edu/senate/], , among many others. Many of our residents have been appointed to leadership positions as members of these programs since our program’s inception in 2014.

Thank you for your interest in our program and look forward to sharing more about our family. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.

The goal of the Yale Waterbury Internal Medicine Residency Program is to train excellent internists who derive joy and purpose from the care of patients and the pursuit of life-long learning in an increasingly complex healthcare system. Our program provides a diverse community of residents and core faculty dedicated to teaching in a nurturing training environment. Residents experience a wide range of educational opportunities including the option of elective rotations at our sponsoring institution, Yale New Haven Hospital. We aspire to advance the health of our patients in the Waterbury community through our service, and we focus on a spirit of collegiality and kindness that puts the individual first.
