Graduate Medical Education at YNHH

August 18, 2020
  • 00:00This residency program is giving
  • 00:02me a chance to train is the best
  • 00:05doctor I can. We really care
  • 00:07about each trainee. As a person I
  • 00:10have found myself able to take
  • 00:12hold of opportunities that
  • 00:13I never would have thought I could have.
  • 00:16Once you come here, you're brought
  • 00:18into the fold and everyone is
  • 00:20just so supportive, so kind
  • 00:22and I feel like very well trained resident
  • 00:26coming out of this gme program. Graduate
  • 00:29medical education.
  • 00:30That yell isn't better than Yale.
  • 00:32New Haven Medical Center,
  • 00:34comprised of Young Haven Hospital
  • 00:36and Yale School of Medicine,
  • 00:38we have over 1500 beds.
  • 00:40We are also one of the largest graduate
  • 00:43medical education communities in
  • 00:44the country both in terms of number
  • 00:47of programs and number of trainees
  • 00:49at the resident and fellow level.
  • 00:52One of our unique strengths is
  • 00:54the physical proximity of Yale
  • 00:56School of Medicine with Yale,
  • 00:58New Haven Hospital.
  • 00:59Essentially sharing the same campus.
  • 01:01This means that not only during your
  • 01:03clinical training in the operating rooms,
  • 01:06in the ICU,
  • 01:07on the wards and our outpatient
  • 01:09practices will you be working
  • 01:10with physicians who are clinical
  • 01:12leaders in their fields.
  • 01:14It also means that during your
  • 01:16residency and fellowship,
  • 01:17when you pursue research,
  • 01:18you will be right down the street
  • 01:20working with individuals who
  • 01:22are pursuing scholarship in any
  • 01:24area that you could imagine.
  • 01:26And these are international leaders.
  • 01:29Do
  • 01:29you mind pulling over the lie rads criteria?
  • 01:32I have it open. What's the size?
  • 01:34What immediately struck me?
  • 01:36Walking through the hospital for
  • 01:37my interview was looking at all
  • 01:39of the people in the hallway and
  • 01:41them smiling back at Leanne. I felt
  • 01:44like a member of the team already
  • 01:46after looking at many other programs
  • 01:48I settled on yell because it just
  • 01:50really had such a great, nurturing,
  • 01:52supportive environment from the program.
  • 01:54Leadership to the other residents.
  • 01:56The staff here I just really felt at
  • 01:58home also during residency I wanted to see.
  • 02:01Diversity of pathology.
  • 02:02The only Haven is the only hospital
  • 02:04in a very wide radius and services
  • 02:06a large catchment area and that made
  • 02:08a big difference in my training.
  • 02:11I'm really excited about that
  • 02:12meeting and I was hoping during
  • 02:14the next amateur meeting will talk
  • 02:17about a welcoming reception for
  • 02:18the new interns from the moment I
  • 02:21stepped in to Yo New Haven hospital,
  • 02:23it was immediately apparent that
  • 02:25this is an institution that cares
  • 02:27about diversity and inclusion.
  • 02:28Less than 6% of doctors or
  • 02:30African American and less than two point.
  • 02:335% of doctors are black males
  • 02:34and they all New Haven Hospital
  • 02:36understands this and makes it a
  • 02:38priority to recruit underrepresented
  • 02:40minorities to their programs.
  • 02:42One of the great things
  • 02:43about training at Yale.
  • 02:45In terms of gender,
  • 02:46diversity and gender bias,
  • 02:48is that we have so many women in
  • 02:50prominent leadership positions?
  • 02:52Department chairs,
  • 02:52an program directores to provide you
  • 02:55with mentor ship here as a trainee.
  • 02:58Anyone have any additional
  • 03:00agenda items for today?
  • 03:01I actually do have one perfect so I
  • 03:05wanted to bring up the email with mqo.
  • 03:09the Senate is a body that represents
  • 03:12the graduate medical education,
  • 03:14which are the residents and fellows and
  • 03:17the goal of it is to create. The best
  • 03:22possible training environment
  • 03:23in the nation here at Yale. I
  • 03:25really enjoyed being a part of the Senate.
  • 03:27It's giving me the opportunity to
  • 03:29meet residents and fellows from
  • 03:30different programs and also to feel
  • 03:32like I've been having an active role
  • 03:34in creating the best possible learning
  • 03:45I think we've faced for this institution
  • 03:49and for the training program.
  • 03:53This was really learning to live
  • 03:56with moment to moment uncertainty.
  • 04:00What we did is we pulled the residents
  • 04:05back to the areas where they.
  • 04:09Were the most comfortable and that
  • 04:11included internal medicine residents
  • 04:12going out of the Indian back up towards
  • 04:13in the ICU and emergency medicine
  • 04:15residents coming back to the Ed so they
  • 04:17are able to take care of the patients
  • 04:19that they knew how to take care of.
  • 04:21Best in this setting that they were most
  • 04:23comfortable and where they were most trained.
  • 04:25And so it really allowed us to make sure
  • 04:27that we provide the best care for the
  • 04:29patients and provided the best safety for
  • 04:31residents. We were never asked
  • 04:33to go into patient rooms more
  • 04:34than we absolutely had to,
  • 04:35and the attendings that worked with
  • 04:37us during the covid crisis really.
  • 04:39Advocated for us in that sense to not
  • 04:41expose us more than was absolutely necessary.
  • 04:44I've been here in New Haven for 17 years.
  • 04:48Ann. I wouldn't
  • 04:49live or work anywhere else.
  • 04:51I think New Haven offers everything
  • 04:54that a big city has just on
  • 04:57a little bit smaller scale.
  • 04:59We have sports, we have art,
  • 05:02we have great food.
  • 05:04Just walked down Chapel St Ann,
  • 05:06you see all of the restaurants,
  • 05:09the shopping, the coffee shops,
  • 05:11people on the street and there's
  • 05:14Wooster Square with the.
  • 05:16World famous pizza.
  • 05:17Italian restaurants and the
  • 05:19Wooster Square farmers market.
  • 05:20Being here in New Haven means being
  • 05:23part of the Yale University community.
  • 05:26You have access to a huge variety
  • 05:28of both extra curricular and
  • 05:30professional opportunities.
  • 05:32University has its own theater,
  • 05:34its own art Gallery and a
  • 05:36short distance from New Haven.
  • 05:38You can take advantage of nature
  • 05:41and be on the beaches or on hiking
  • 05:44or biking trails and also it's.
  • 05:47Pretty easy to get to some of the
  • 05:51major Metropolitan centers of the Northeast,
  • 05:53so all of these smaller scale
  • 05:56things are right at your doorstep.
  • 05:59An available,
  • 06:00particularly as a
  • 06:01resident. Yellow havens Jimmy programs
  • 06:04offer world class training at a world
  • 06:06class institution. If you're
  • 06:08looking for great support,
  • 06:10place where you feel like
  • 06:12family and also where you would
  • 06:14get great training. I recommend you
  • 06:17come to Yale when you're thinking about
  • 06:20residency and how tough is going to
  • 06:23be the long nights you
  • 06:25really want to place where the
  • 06:27people are nice and friendly and
  • 06:29will support you throughout the way.
  • 06:32If I had to choose a residency program again,
  • 06:35I would choose Yale every time.
