- 00:05The Yale system is fundamental to our school.
- 00:08It's really about lifelong
- 00:09learning and about collaborating
- 00:10together to learn together.
- 00:12Students have the freedom to build
- 00:14their own paths. You don't have
- 00:16to wait till after medical school
- 00:18to start becoming the doctor you want to be.
- 00:21You don't really hear no, you hear. How can
- 00:24we make this happen?
- 00:26We have advisors and coaches and
- 00:28faculty that are all here to help.
- 00:31They also model the behavior
- 00:33of lifelong learning for our
- 00:34students in the hospital.
- 00:36They model what it is to be
- 00:38curious about their patients,
- 00:40to consult with each other,
- 00:42and then to advance knowledge so that
- 00:44we can address new discoveries. At
- 00:46the end of the day,
- 00:48medicine is a team sport.
- 00:50It's you, other physicians.
- 00:51You'll be working with support
- 00:53staff like nurses, caseworkers.
- 00:54So to be able to learn how to
- 00:57interact in a team environment
- 00:59only propels medicine forward it really.
- 01:01Instills in students the fact
- 01:03that they're learning for their
- 01:05future not to get a certain grade
- 01:07on a test or a rank in a class. I
- 01:10think the most important part is that
- 01:12we really are each other's cheerleaders.
- 01:14We're not running the same race,
- 01:16we're not even on the same paths.
- 01:18And that really like, opens the doors
- 01:20for like, people doing very, very
- 01:22incredibly unique things.
- 01:25Medical School is a difficult time.
- 01:26There's a lot to learn.
- 01:27But at the end of the day,
- 01:29when you're surrounded by what
- 01:30feels more like a family,
- 01:32that makes getting through
- 01:33it just so much easier.
