- 00:00This residency program is giving
- 00:02me a chance to train is the best
- 00:05doctor I can. We really care
- 00:07about each trainee. As a person I
- 00:10have found myself able to take
- 00:12hold of opportunities that
- 00:13I never would have thought I could have.
- 00:16Once you come here, you're brought
- 00:18into the fold and everyone is
- 00:20just so supportive, so kind
- 00:22and I feel like very well trained resident
- 00:26coming out of this gme program. Graduate
- 00:29medical education.
- 00:30That yell isn't better than Yale.
- 00:32New Haven Medical Center,
- 00:34comprised of Young Haven Hospital
- 00:36and Yale School of Medicine,
- 00:38we have over 1500 beds.
- 00:40We are also one of the largest graduate
- 00:43medical education communities in
- 00:44the country both in terms of number
- 00:47of programs and number of trainees
- 00:49at the resident and fellow level.
- 00:52One of our unique strengths is
- 00:54the physical proximity of Yale
- 00:56School of Medicine with Yale,
- 00:58New Haven Hospital.
- 00:59Essentially sharing the same campus.
- 01:01This means that not only during your
- 01:03clinical training in the operating rooms,
- 01:06in the ICU,
- 01:07on the wards and our outpatient
- 01:09practices will you be working
- 01:10with physicians who are clinical
- 01:12leaders in their fields.
- 01:14It also means that during your
- 01:16residency and fellowship,
- 01:17when you pursue research,
- 01:18you will be right down the street
- 01:20working with individuals who
- 01:22are pursuing scholarship in any
- 01:24area that you could imagine.
- 01:26And these are international leaders.
- 01:29Do
- 01:29you mind pulling over the lie rads criteria?
- 01:32I have it open. What's the size?
- 01:34What immediately struck me?
- 01:36Walking through the hospital for
- 01:37my interview was looking at all
- 01:39of the people in the hallway and
- 01:41them smiling back at Leanne. I felt
- 01:44like a member of the team already
- 01:46after looking at many other programs
- 01:48I settled on yell because it just
- 01:50really had such a great, nurturing,
- 01:52supportive environment from the program.
- 01:54Leadership to the other residents.
- 01:56The staff here I just really felt at
- 01:58home also during residency I wanted to see.
- 02:01Diversity of pathology.
- 02:02The only Haven is the only hospital
- 02:04in a very wide radius and services
- 02:06a large catchment area and that made
- 02:08a big difference in my training.
- 02:11I'm really excited about that
- 02:12meeting and I was hoping during
- 02:14the next amateur meeting will talk
- 02:17about a welcoming reception for
- 02:18the new interns from the moment I
- 02:21stepped in to Yo New Haven hospital,
- 02:23it was immediately apparent that
- 02:25this is an institution that cares
- 02:27about diversity and inclusion.
- 02:28Less than 6% of doctors or
- 02:30African American and less than two point.
- 02:335% of doctors are black males
- 02:34and they all New Haven Hospital
- 02:36understands this and makes it a
- 02:38priority to recruit underrepresented
- 02:40minorities to their programs.
- 02:42One of the great things
- 02:43about training at Yale.
- 02:45In terms of gender,
- 02:46diversity and gender bias,
- 02:48is that we have so many women in
- 02:50prominent leadership positions?
- 02:52Department chairs,
- 02:52an program directores to provide you
- 02:55with mentor ship here as a trainee.
- 02:58Anyone have any additional
- 03:00agenda items for today?
- 03:01I actually do have one perfect so I
- 03:05wanted to bring up the email with mqo.
- 03:09the Senate is a body that represents
- 03:12the graduate medical education,
- 03:14which are the residents and fellows and
- 03:17the goal of it is to create. The best
- 03:22possible training environment
- 03:23in the nation here at Yale. I
- 03:25really enjoyed being a part of the Senate.
- 03:27It's giving me the opportunity to
- 03:29meet residents and fellows from
- 03:30different programs and also to feel
- 03:32like I've been having an active role
- 03:34in creating the best possible learning
- 03:45I think we've faced for this institution
- 03:49and for the training program.
- 03:53This was really learning to live
- 03:56with moment to moment uncertainty.
- 04:00What we did is we pulled the residents
- 04:05back to the areas where they.
- 04:09Were the most comfortable and that
- 04:11included internal medicine residents
- 04:12going out of the Indian back up towards
- 04:13in the ICU and emergency medicine
- 04:15residents coming back to the Ed so they
- 04:17are able to take care of the patients
- 04:19that they knew how to take care of.
- 04:21Best in this setting that they were most
- 04:23comfortable and where they were most trained.
- 04:25And so it really allowed us to make sure
- 04:27that we provide the best care for the
- 04:29patients and provided the best safety for
- 04:31residents. We were never asked
- 04:33to go into patient rooms more
- 04:34than we absolutely had to,
- 04:35and the attendings that worked with
- 04:37us during the covid crisis really.
- 04:39Advocated for us in that sense to not
- 04:41expose us more than was absolutely necessary.
- 04:44I've been here in New Haven for 17 years.
- 04:48Ann. I wouldn't
- 04:49live or work anywhere else.
- 04:51I think New Haven offers everything
- 04:54that a big city has just on
- 04:57a little bit smaller scale.
- 04:59We have sports, we have art,
- 05:02we have great food.
- 05:04Just walked down Chapel St Ann,
- 05:06you see all of the restaurants,
- 05:09the shopping, the coffee shops,
- 05:11people on the street and there's
- 05:14Wooster Square with the.
- 05:16World famous pizza.
- 05:17Italian restaurants and the
- 05:19Wooster Square farmers market.
- 05:20Being here in New Haven means being
- 05:23part of the Yale University community.
- 05:26You have access to a huge variety
- 05:28of both extra curricular and
- 05:30professional opportunities.
- 05:32University has its own theater,
- 05:34its own art Gallery and a
- 05:36short distance from New Haven.
- 05:38You can take advantage of nature
- 05:41and be on the beaches or on hiking
- 05:44or biking trails and also it's.
- 05:47Pretty easy to get to some of the
- 05:51major Metropolitan centers of the Northeast,
- 05:53so all of these smaller scale
- 05:56things are right at your doorstep.
- 05:59An available,
- 06:00particularly as a
- 06:01resident. Yellow havens Jimmy programs
- 06:04offer world class training at a world
- 06:06class institution. If you're
- 06:08looking for great support,
- 06:10place where you feel like
- 06:12family and also where you would
- 06:14get great training. I recommend you
- 06:17come to Yale when you're thinking about
- 06:20residency and how tough is going to
- 06:23be the long nights you
- 06:25really want to place where the
- 06:27people are nice and friendly and
- 06:29will support you throughout the way.
- 06:32If I had to choose a residency program again,
- 06:35I would choose Yale every time.
