Simulation Academy at Yale

Simulation Academy at Yale – Youth Entering Science (SAY-YES!)

The Simulation Academy at Yale: Youth Entering Science (SAY‑YES!) is an after‑school program based in the Yale Center for Healthcare Simulation (YCHS).

Supported by an R25 Science Education Partnership Award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, SAY‑YES! offers hands‑on STEM experiential learning to local high school students.

In partnership with New Haven Public Schools and Yale Pathways to Science, YCHS introduces participants to careers in health care while promoting collaborative, peer‑based learning. Simulation Academy students also receive structured mentoring from a diverse team of advisors, including undergraduate students, medical students, fellows, and faculty.
