Yale Pathology Residency Training Program

Transcript

• 00:04I think there's really a
• 00:05great sense of pride in
• 00:07our training program. We've been
• 00:09around for many decades and
• 00:10we've produced many exceptional pathologists,
• 00:13many of whom stay on
• 00:14as faculty here at Yale,
• 00:16including myself.
• 00:17Residents at Yale are not
• 00:19here just to focus on
• 00:21succeeding through a very
• 00:22demanding training program, but also
• 00:25they do feel they belong.
• 00:27We have a really incredible
• 00:28group of faculty who are
• 00:30international
• 00:31and national leaders in their
• 00:32fields. They supervise our residents
• 00:35one on one,
• 00:36and so you're really training
• 00:37with the best when you're
• 00:39here at Yale.
• 00:40A lot of the faculty
• 00:40members
• 00:42are very, very funny, especially
• 00:44during sign out, and I
• 00:45think that just builds more
• 00:47kind of like this camaraderie
• 00:49and this very close bond
• 00:51that allows you to ask
• 00:52questions, to learn, to train,
• 00:54train, and to actually, you
• 00:56know, receive feedback.
• 00:58So the other thing that
• 00:59really makes our training program
• 01:01excellent is we have a
• 01:02really outstanding breadth of material
• 01:04to train with here at
• 01:04Yale. We have a huge
• 01:06volume of cases and a
• 01:07diverse variety of cases in
• 01:09addition to outreach and consult
• 01:11and the psychology material that
• 01:13we diagnose every year.
• 01:15I knew that the program
• 01:16had, like, a very strong
• 01:18curriculum.
• 01:19It had a very strong
• 01:20AP side. It had a
• 01:21very strong CP side.
• 01:23And it just called to
• 01:25me. It was
• 01:26part of what I wanted
• 01:27out of a residency program.
• 01:30Our residents have a great
• 01:32variety of opportunities to get
• 01:33involved in research and present
• 01:35their work. We have more
• 01:36than seventy clinically active faculty
• 01:39across anatomic and clinical pathology.
• 01:42They routinely present at national
• 01:44and international
• 01:47meetings our residents get to
• 01:48go to is the United
• 01:49States and Canadian Academy of
• 01:50Pathology
• 01:51annually. And we're always well
• 01:53represented there. One of the
• 01:55things that I really appreciate
• 01:56about Yale is how accessible
• 01:59research opportunities are from the
• 02:00very beginning.
• 02:02We have opportunities across the
• 02:04spectrum from basic science to
• 02:06translational and clinical research.
• 02:09And I think what that
• 02:10makes all of that possible
• 02:12is really mentorship.
• 02:14Because early on in residency
• 02:15you are paired with a
• 02:16faculty mentor,
• 02:18but you are never limited
• 02:19to just one. And when
• 02:21your interest evolves, you are
• 02:22encouraged to work with other
• 02:23faculties that are leaders in
• 02:25the field and they are
• 02:26invested in your success. I
• 02:28think one of the big
• 02:29things in addition to what
• 02:30I've already mentioned are really
• 02:32the combination of exceptional training
• 02:34you can get in our
• 02:35program across both anatomic pathology
• 02:37and laboratory medicine.
• 02:39That's quite unique about us,
• 02:41because we have really dedicated
• 02:42faculty in both areas who
• 02:44are focused and have the
• 02:45resources to be working in
• 02:46both those areas.
• 02:48And the way the lab
• 02:49medicine training is built,
• 02:50highly engages our residents in
• 02:52that area just as in
• 02:54anatomic pathology.
• 02:58I love living and working
• 02:59in New Haven.
• 03:00It's a highly walkable city
• 03:02that affords me the opportunity
• 03:04to do many different cultural
• 03:05experiences. There's always something that
• 03:08you find that is fun.
• 03:10There's always something to do.
• 03:12I feel like having this,
• 03:14you know, outside of work
• 03:16experience with your fellow residents
• 03:19and also with maybe another
• 03:21attending,
• 03:22or maybe the fellows
• 03:24is really nice. It gives
• 03:25you a little bit more
• 03:27life,
• 03:28you know, it it makes
• 03:29it feel more alive.
• 03:30And it was that sense
• 03:32of community and that sense
• 03:33of belonging and that long
• 03:35term investments in one another
• 03:38that really set this program
• 03:39apart for me. I think
• 03:40personally I can say that
• 03:42there's really no greater reward
• 03:43than ushering in and supporting
• 03:45the next generation of pathologists
• 03:47and watching them grow and
• 03:48thrive,
• 03:49over the course of their
• 03:50training.
