Previous Updates
Yale School of Medicine is refreshing our strategic goals as we look forward in a time of change. In May 2025, we surveyed our faculty, students, trainees, and staff about their aspirations and goals for our school, and released a summary of the results in June. In August and September, focus groups composed of members from our school and larger community provided input on the future direction of the school. Writing groups convened in October and November.
