The Office of the Deputy Dean for Education is responsible for the educational mission of Yale School of Medicine (YSM) in support of faculty and trainees along the continuum of undergraduate (UME), graduate (GME), and continuing medical education (CME).
Medical Education encompasses the MD, Physician Assistant Online, and Physician Associate Programs including admissions, curriculum, financial aid, student affairs, and student research, as well non-degree programs and resources such as Program for Humanities in Medicine, Program for Biomedical Ethics, Global Health Education, YSM Center for Medical Education, Continuing Medical Education, The Yale Center for Healthcare Simulation, and the Cushing Whitney Medical Library.
In addition, the Office of the Deputy Dean for Education guides strategic planning, continuous quality improvement, accreditation, and communications for medical education at YSM.
Global Health involves understanding the challenges health systems face in attaining health equity for all, understanding the social, economic, and political determinants of health, providing clinical care to underserved patients, advocacy for individual patients and communities, and a commitment to cultural humility and cross-cultural communication.
Our interdisciplinary team draws upon philosophy, law, and social and behavioral sciences to provide expert biomedical ethics consultations for families, researchers, physicians, and other health care providers.
The Yale Center for Healthcare Simulation (YCHS) is a safe space for learning, where mistakes can be a learning tool, for medical students, physician associate students, and residents.
