  • 00:05This residency program is
  • 00:06giving me a chance to train is
  • 00:08the best doctor I can.
  • 00:09We really care about each trainee.
  • 00:11As a person I have found myself able
  • 00:14to take hold of opportunities that I
  • 00:16never would have thought I could have.
  • 00:18Once you come here, you're brought
  • 00:20into the fold and everyone is just so
  • 00:22supportive, so kind and I feel
  • 00:24like very well trained resident
  • 00:25coming out of this gme program.
  • 00:33Graduate medical education at Yale
  • 00:34isn't better than the only Haven
  • 00:36Medical Center comprised of Young Haven
  • 00:39Hospital and Yale School of Medicine.
  • 00:41We have over 1500 beds.
  • 00:42We are also one of the largest graduate
  • 00:45medical education communities in the country,
  • 00:47both in terms of number of
  • 00:49programs and number of trainees
  • 00:51at the resident and fellow level.
  • 00:53One of our unique strengths is
  • 00:55the 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, on the wards,
  • 01:08in our outpatient practices will you
  • 01:10be working with physicians who are
  • 01:12clinical leaders 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
  • 01:20street working with individuals
  • 01:22who are pursuing scholarship in any
  • 01:24area that you could imagine.
  • 01:26And these are international leaders.
  • 01:29Do you mind pulling over
  • 01:31the lie rads criteria? I
  • 01:32have it open. What's
  • 01:34the size? What
  • 01:35immediately struck me?
  • 01:36Walking through the hospital for
  • 01:38my interview was looking at all
  • 01:40of the people in the hallway and
  • 01:42them 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.
  • 01:55The 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.
  • 02:14I'm really excited about that meeting
  • 02:16and I was hoping during the next
  • 02:18Metro meeting we could talk about a
  • 02:20welcoming reception for the new interns.
  • 02:22From the moment I stepped in
  • 02:24to go New Haven hospital,
  • 02:26it was immediately apparent that
  • 02:27this is an institution that cares
  • 02:29about diversity and inclusion. Less
  • 02:30than 6% of doctors or African
  • 02:32American and less than two point.
  • 02:345% of doctors are black males
  • 02:35and they all New Haven Hospital
  • 02:37understands this and makes it a
  • 02:39priority 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.
  • 03:02Anyone have any additional
  • 03:03agenda items for today?
  • 03:05I actually do have one perfect so I
  • 03:08wanted to bring up the email with mqo.
  • 03:11the Senate is a body that represents
  • 03:13the graduate medical education,
  • 03:15which are the residents and fellows
  • 03:18and the goal of it is to create.
  • 03:21The best possible training environment
  • 03:23in the nation here at Yale. I really
  • 03:25enjoyed 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
  • 03:49Dealing with the covid crisis has
  • 03:51been the most difficult challenge I
  • 03:54think we've faced for this institution
  • 03:56and for the training program.
  • 03:58This was really learning to live
  • 04:01with moment to moment uncertainty.
  • 04:03What we did is we
  • 04:05pulled the residents back
  • 04:07to the areas where they.
  • 04:09Were the most comfortable and that
  • 04:11included internal medicine residents
  • 04:12going out of the edian back up
  • 04:13towards in the ICU and the emergency
  • 04:15medicine residents coming back to
  • 04:16the Ed so they are able to take care
  • 04:18of the patients that they knew how
  • 04:20to take care of best in this setting
  • 04:22that they were most comfortable
  • 04:23and where they were most trained.
  • 04:25And so it really allowed us to
  • 04:27make sure that we provide the best
  • 04:28care for the patients and provided
  • 04:30the best safety for residents.
  • 04:31We were never asked to go into patient
  • 04:33rooms more than 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 expose
  • 04:41us more than was absolutely necessary.
  • 04:49I've been here in New Haven for 17 years.
  • 04:52Ann. I wouldn't live or work anywhere else.
  • 04:55I think New Haven offers everything
  • 04:57that a big city has just on
  • 05:00a little bit smaller scale.
  • 05:02We have sports, we have art,
  • 05:04we have great food.
  • 05:06Just walked down Chapel St Ann,
  • 05:08you see all of the restaurants,
  • 05:10the shopping, the coffee shops,
  • 05:12people on the St Ann,
  • 05:14there's Wooster Square with the.
  • 05:16World famous pizza.
  • 05:17Italian restaurant 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 major
  • 05:51Metropolitan centers of the Northeast,
  • 05:53so all of these smaller scale
  • 05:55things are right at your doorstep.
  • 05:58An available, particularly as a resident.
  • 06:05Yellow havens Jimmy
  • 06:06programs offer world class training
  • 06:08at a world class institution. If
  • 06:10you're looking for great support,
  • 06:12place where you feel like
  • 06:14family and also where you
  • 06:16would get great training.
  • 06:17I recommend you come to Yale
  • 06:20when you're thinking about
  • 06:21residency and how tough
  • 06:23is going to
  • 06:24be the long
  • 06:25nights you really want to place where
  • 06:27the people were nice and friendly and
  • 06:30will support you throughout the way.
  • 06:32If I had to choose a residency program again,
  • 06:34I would choose yell every time.
