The Yale School of Medicine Office of Communications is focused on sharing news and stories about Yale School of Medicine innovations in science and medicine in the areas of education, research, and clinical practice. We publish explorations of science and society, health articles, inspirational stories, and videos via websites, print magazines, and newsletters. Our audiences include the general public, patients and physicians, as well as our alumni, faculty members, students, and staff.
Yale Medicine Magazine and Facts & Figures appear online and in print form. YSM Events assembles school-wide events and announcements. YSM News & Recognition reports on impactful YSM-led research findings and faculty and staff achievements. Both digital newsletters are sent out weekly to the YSM community.

Yale Medicine Magazine
Yale Medicine Magazine was established in the 1950s as the medical school's alumni bulletin. It adopted a magazine format in the 1960s and evolved into a school-wide magazine. Full color, which had occasionally graced the cover, was introduced to the interior pages with the Winter/Spring 1998 issue and is now used throughout the magazine. In 2014, we adopted a new look and new approach with a redesign and themed issues that explore topics in medicine, biomedical science, and medical education in depth. In 2023, the magazine launched a special report format, providing contextual coverage of topics that showcase YSM’s leadership in medicine and science.
Yale Medicine has broadened its readership to include the greater medical school and Yale University community, national and international media, individual benefactors and prospective donors, corporate and foundation officers, as well as the larger medical, educational and scientific community.
The twice-yearly alumni magazine, Yale Medicine Magazine, covers discoveries in biomedicine, clinical advances, new ways of training tomorrow’s doctors, and the evolution of medicine and health care.
Issue 175, released in late 2025, is the final issue produced in print. The first fully digital issue will be released in the Spring of 2026.
Facts & Figures
Facts and Figures is compiled and published annually to provide an overview of key facts about the School of Medicine. It contains information on our history, educational and research programs, clinical care, and more.
