About

The Yale Department of Internal Medicine strives to provide outstanding, compassionate, and equitable care to our patients.

We are dedicated to the development of new knowledge through innovative basic biomedical discovery and rigorous clinical research, and to translating these discoveries into novel therapies.

We aspire to train and inspire the next generation of leaders in medicine through education that fosters creativity and a personal commitment to excellence, and that equips our trainees with exemplary skills and attitudes for a life's work in medicine.

We are committed to cultivating an inclusive, collaborative, and professional culture that respects individual differences, recognizes and rewards diverse talents, and helps each person reach their full potential.

The Department of Internal Medicine is made up of 10 academic sections, each with its own administrative structure. Over the past five decades, these sections, through their clinical, educational and research activities, have gained national and international prominence. Most of the sections are housed in The Anlyan Center, a modern research and educational facility providing extensive laboratory, educational and administrative spaces. Clinical activities of the section take place primarily at Yale New Haven Hospital and the Yale Physician Building, both a few minutes walk from The Anlyan Center. The proximity of our sections to Yale School of Medicine has facilitated extensive formal and informal research and educational collaborations with basic science faculty.
