Yale Health Plan
Whether or not you have chosen to purchase the hospitalization piece of the Yale Health Plan, Basic Coverage is offered at no charge and includes preventive health and medical services in the departments of Mental Health & Counseling, Student Health, Gynecology, and Health Education.
Peer Advocate Program
The Peer Advocates program was created to provide students with non-threatening peer listeners who are available at any time of day or night, to confidentially discuss strategies, reality-test, brainstorm solutions when encountered with challenging personal, academic, or professional situations and point students in the direction of appropriate resources.
Student Mental Health & Wellness Program
The pilot Student Mental Health & Wellness Program is an initial but important step in the effort to better support the mental health of students across our MD, MD-PhD, Physician Assistant Online, and Physician Associate programs.
