Collaboration Support

At Yale School of Medicine, we pursue collaborative excellence through the intentional cultivation of a broad range of perspectives and experiences to advance the three pillars of our mission: educating and nurturing leaders in medicine and science, advancing discovery and innovation, and caring for patients with compassion while improving the health of all.

As part of YSM's plans to foster collaboration within each organizational unit and at every level at YSM, departments have a vice chair or advocate. They are instrumental in engaging their departmental colleagues to promote our efforts throughout the school.

As Yale responds to the dynamic opportunities presented by a global environment and the challenges of new technology, it requires highly skilled staff members, who are able to change direction quickly, and respond to evolving departmental business needs.

Yale University and Yale School of Medicine are committed to providing an environment free from discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression and membership in any other protected classes as set forth in Connecticut and federal law.

You can reach out to a Discrimination and Harassment Resource Coordinator (DHRC) or can talk with others, such as the Dean of Student Affairs or the Office of Institutional Equity and Accessibility. DHRCs receive concerns and offer advice and guidance related to diversity and inclusion, discrimination and harassment, retaliation, and equal opportunity.

Yale University is committed to maintaining a non-discriminatory learning and working environment for students, faculty, and staff. Yale adopts this policy with a commitment to preventing and addressing discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, consistent with Connecticut and federal law. At Yale we refer to this policy as either the antidiscrimination policy, nondiscrimination policy, or policy against discrimination.
