Fostering a Shared Vision of Professionalism
Foundational to our community’s shared understanding of professionalism is the dissemination of values characterizing leadership and related professional behaviors endorsed by the School of Medicine. All members of the Yale School of Medicine community are expected to uphold these standards and consistently contribute to maintaining a professional, respectful culture.
Yale School of Medicine Core Values
The School of Medicine’s core values are derived from the Core Values for Twenty-first Century Leaders which were identified through the work of the Academic Leadership Committee from March 2018-September 2019 and communicated to the School of Medicine in January 2020. With each of equal and critical importance, these core values lay the foundation for values-driven leadership and provide more explicit focus on the behaviors and skills that reflect these values.
