YSM Curricular Update

Lunches With Your Deans

Dean Illuzzi is planning a series of lunches for students in each class with her and the associate deans in medical education. This is an opportunity to chat about the new YSM Strategic Plan for medical education, the re-accreditation process for our school, and anything else on your mind.

The lunches will start with the 2nd year students in November and December and will follow with the other classes after the new year.

Flu Vaccinations

It is mandatory for all Yale Medical students to be vaccinated. This is required as part of the Community Compact for all Yale students and is required of all healthcare workers.

The deadline for all medical students to be vaccinated has passed. If you have not been vaccinated, review the options for getting your flu shot with the Find Your Flu Shot Tool.

To request exemption for the flu vaccine requirement, students must complete an Influenza Vaccination Medical or Religious Waiver Form and email it to immunization@yale.edu. A hyperlink to this form can be found on the Yale Health Flu page noted above.
