A warm welcome to Yale Medical Group’s newest physicians

More than 100 new recruits should be credentialed by the end of the year

Yale Medical Group (YMG) welcomes the most doctors in late summer/early fall. This year more than 100 physicians are joining the clinical faculty from Connecticut and throughout the country, and they are bringing new skills and experience. The latest group includes members of The Urology Group, a community practice that joined YMG this summer.
