The Student Mental Health & Wellness Program plays an important role in supporting the mental health of students across our MD, MD-PhD, and Physician Associate programs. Students in the Physician Assistant (PA) Online Program participate in wellness programming.
The Yale School of Medicine (YSM) Student Emergency Aid Fund is designed to provide short-term financial assistance to students enrolled in the MD, MD/PhD, Physician Associate (PA), and Physician Assistant (PA) Online programs who are struggling with unanticipated or emergency financial situations. Unlike a loan, students are not expected to repay awards from the Student Emergency Aid Fund. A Student Emergency Fund Committee, composed of the Associate Dean for Student Affairs and the Directors of the MD/PhD, Physician Associate, and Physician Assistant Online Programs, or their designees, will administer the fund.
