About Us

The Yale Section of General Internal Medicine includes nearly 140 full-time faculty who are committed to the core missions of research, education, clinical patient care, and community service. Section faculty are based at Yale campuses located in New Haven, West Haven, and Waterbury, Connecticut.

Our research programs focus on core issues in general internal medicine, including the epidemiology and outcomes in common chronic diseases (cardiovascular disease, stroke, HIV/AIDS, addiction, and cancer), health policy, health disparities, occupational and environmental medicine, quality and safety, medical education, and the medical humanities. Several section faculty lead major educational programs for Yale medical students, residents, and fellows. Our clinical program includes five primary care clinics, along with specialized programs in areas such as occupational health and addiction. Our faculty also oversee major inpatient services at our three hospitals.

Community programs of the section are an outgrowth of our research, educational, and clinical programs. Community-based research in areas such as addiction, occupational medicine, and chronic disease management provides unique service opportunities for members of the greater New Haven community. In addition, multidimensional programs, including the Transitions Program, provide outreach to our neighbors. Each of our clinical sites contributes significantly to the care of the underserved in our community while providing invaluable educational experiences for our trainees.
