Over 100 people attended Simulation Academy at Yale’s graduation and career fair on Saturday, May 11.
For the third year in a row, the Department of Emergency Medicine (DEM) at the Yale School of Medicine ranked first in the nation in research dollars awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2023, as tabulated by the Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research.
In August, the Yale Center for Healthcare Simulation was notified that it will receive a $1.25 million grant from the National Institute of General Medical Science.
The Yale Center for Medical Simulation (YCMS) was recently awarded a $1 Million RO1 grant over two years from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) for their study, “Improving patient and clinician safety during COVID-19 through a rapidly adaptive simulation intervention.” In response to the urgent need for innovative strategies that address the COVID-19 public health crisis, YCMS faculty developed a project that will implement the COVID-19 Responsive Intervention: Systems Improvement Simulations (CRI:SIS).
In mid-March, COVID-19 upended the traditional Yale School of Medicine (YSM) curriculum for MD students. Didactic coursework and clinical skills training had to be rapidly converted to an online format, and clinical rotations and most sub-internships (sub-Is) were suspended in the space of a few days.

A group of third-year students crowds into a room at the Yale Center for Medical Simulation (YCMS), listening to a description of the robotic manikin lying on a nearby bed. When the group hears that the manikin’s pupils can dilate and constrict in response to stimuli, one student eagerly pulls a..
Third-year students beginning their clinical clerkships took to the new Yale Center for Medical Simulation on June 15 to practice skills best learned on a manikin instead of a live patient. At the expanded center, which opened in January, they used bag-valve masks for manual ventilation and..
Leigh Evans, M.D., the center’s director, led an interactive tour of the new state-of-the-art facility.
Commencement speaker alternated serious messages with pithy one-liners, and Dean Alpern presented awards to faculty and house staff.
As a participant in the Longitudinal Clinical Experience (LCE) Pilot to provide inter-professional training, I had the unique opportunity of participating in a joint session at the Yale Center for Medical Simulation (YCMS) with three YSM medical students. Our team obtained a patient history from a standardized patient and then we were ushered into the next phase of performing a physical exam. All the while, our team was being recorded and monitored by faculty for future feedback and evaluation
A medical school curriculum should integrate the teaching of basic sciences and clinical care, allow room for individual exploration, develop lifelong learners, and nurture professional identity, said David M. Irby, Ph.
Emergency Medicine has won a Trifecta of faculty teaching awards
Making a diagnosis and suggesting treatment options would seem beyond the wherewithal of first-year medical students. Yet this fall, just days after donning their white coats and still in their medical school orientation, students had a chance to figure out why an otherwise healthy young woman..
Commencement was a day of mixed emotions for graduates in the Class of 2008. As they celebrated their own passage from students to physicians, they also mourned the loss of their classmate Mila Rainof, who died on April 20 after being struck by a car.
Increasingly, medical schools such as Yale are using standardized patients, lifelike mannequins and virtual reality to teach clinical skills.
This year’s reunion kicked off on the evening of Friday, June 2, in the Medical Historical Library with welcoming remarks from Dean Robert J. Alpern, M.
