Yale’s Section of EMS

The Yale DEM EMS Section faculty provide medical oversight for 26 EMS entities, including fire-based, hospital-based, and third-service providers. This work encompasses medical direction for over 2000 EMS clinicians in the New Haven area including more than 350 paramedics. EMS Section members also provide medical oversight for one of the region’s largest EMS clinician training programs of paramedics and EMTs. In addition, the Section provides medical oversight for the Yale New Haven Health System Office of Emergency Preparedness.

The Yale DEM has an ACGME accredited EMS fellowship program with two fellowship slots per year. The Section has two physician response vehicles for real-time on-scene emergency response. Faculty will also have access to world-class clinical facilities and research infrastructure through YSM DEM.
