Student Well-Being & Safety

Yale School of Medicine (YSM) and the Physician Associate Program foster a holistic approach to student well-being and promote wellness, in all its forms. We believe everyone benefits when every student feels part of the community and wants to be engaged, in whatever capacity is fulfilling to that individual. Yale University and the Yale School of Medicine have people, programs, and processes dedicated to ensuring students have the support needed to enhance access and well-being.
