Over the last two centuries, Yale has pioneered numerous medical breakthroughs: Yale physicians and researchers were first in the United States to use the X-ray, antibiotics, and chemotherapy, and also the first to identify Lyme disease. More recent research milestones include developing the first reliable method for early detection of autism and the identification of genes associated with macular degeneration, dyslexia, Tourette\u2019s syndrome, and many others. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yale School of Medicine is home to 62 National Academy of Science members, 40 Institute of Medicine investigators, and 16 Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigators. The institution offers numerous dual-degree programs including joint MD\/PhD, MD\/MPH, and MD\/MHS programs. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When the time comes to gather research for their required thesis, Yale School of Medicine students have access to the institution\u2019s Harvey Cushing\/John Hay Whitney Medical Library, one of the largest medical libraries in the country. Among its vast collection are rare medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, over 300 medical incunabula, and works by Hippocrates, Galen, and Vesalius, to name a few.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students looking to enrich their education have a choice of more than 80 community service and student organizations that cover a wide variety of interests including addictive medicine, women\u2019s health, surgery, youth advocacy, bioethics, and many more. Students interested in working with local high school students in the Yale lab facilities might be drawn to the Anatomy Teaching Program. Those with a desire to help the New Haven community, particularly the underserved and uninsured, will benefit from helping out at the HAVEN Free Clinic or working with the Neighborhood Health Project.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The curriculum, launched in 2015, emphasizes flexibility, close faculty mentoring, self-responsibility, and the development of a scientific habit of mind. Attendance is not taken and performance is evaluated through anonymous qualifying exams, clinical clerkships, and engagement that occurs in intimate seminars and conferences.<\/span><br \/>\n<div   data-autoplay='1'  data-interval='5'  data-animation='fade'  data-hoverpause='1'  class='avia-testimonial-wrapper avia-grid-testimonials avia-grid-2-testimonials avia_animate_when_almost_visible   '>\n<section class ='avia-testimonial-row'><div class='avia-testimonial av_one_half flex_column no_margin avia-testimonial-row-1 avia-first-testimonial' ><div class='avia-testimonial_inner'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia-testimonial-content '  ><div class='avia-testimonial-markup-entry-content'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em><span>One of my favorite parts about Yale School of Medicine is the Yale System, which fosters the spirit of academic freedom and individuality. Students are encouraged, and supported by faculty and administration, to explore our own interests: basic science or clinical research, global health, health justice, volunteering at the free clinic etc. We have a mandatory thesis requirement for graduation so most students take the summer after first year to get started on with research. Many students take a 5th year (between 3rd and 4th year of medical school) to pursue more rigorous research or a dual degree at the Yale School of Management or Yale School of Public Health. Whatever your interests are, there&#8217;s something for everyone at Yale!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta'><div class='avia-testimonial-arrow-wrap'><div class='avia-arrow'><\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta-mini'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><strong  class='avia-testimonial-name'    itemprop=\"name\" >James Yoon<\/strong><span  class='avia-testimonial-subtitle '    itemprop=\"jobTitle\" >Student at Yale School of Medicine<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section><\/div><br \/>\n<a id=\"curriculum\"><\/a><div  style='padding-bottom:10px; ' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h3    avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_testimonials  el_before_av_heading  '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >The Curriculum at the Yale School of Medicine<\/h3><div class='special-heading-border'><div class='special-heading-inner-border' ><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fundamental to the Yale curriculum is the philosophy that students are mature adults and should be treated as such. Thus, attendance is not taken, students evaluate themselves and their peers, and students may also choose to take or forego anonymous qualifying exams at the end of each course. Worth mentioning, too, is that students are not issued grades in the first two years of study and there is no class ranking. Instead, Yale med students are evaluated through small-group teaching sessions and through direct interaction with faculty members. As a result, students should expect questioning during discussions and lab sessions as a part of the evaluation process.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The philosophy behind this mode of learning is that when students compete for grades, they tend to focus on preparing for tests, not their futures. The Yale philosophy is that when students are not forced to compete for rank, morale and camaraderie increase\u2014and so does free time, which allows students to pursue elective courses, dual-degrees, and community service projects.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The curriculum is broken up into the following modules:<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/medicine.yale.edu\/education\/curriculum\/integrated\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Integrated Basic and Clinical Science Curriculum<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> consists of eight introductory master courses; three longitudinal courses in ethics, anatomy, and research; and nine longitudinal threads covering biochemistry, genetics, pathology, pharmacology, and more. These courses are spread out over the first 18 months of study.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pre-clerkship Clinical Curriculum teaches students to work effectively with nursing students and physician associate students in clinical environments. Through this, students learn how to examine and communicate with patients, develop critical thinking skills, and better understand the role of a student-doctor in a patient\u2019s care. This curriculum spans the first 18 months of study and is augmented by the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicine.yale.edu\/education\/curriculum\/ilce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Interprofessional Longitudinal Clinical Experience<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (ILCE). ILCE pairs groups of three or four students with faculty \u201ccoaches\u201d who work alongside them in various clinical settings, teaching them to develop their identities as future physicians.<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/medicine.yale.edu\/education\/curriculum\/mce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Medical Coaching Experience<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (MCE) occurs in year two and, like the ILCE curriculum, small groups of students are again paired with faculty mentors who help prepare them to successfully complete the standardized history and physical exam assessment, and develop the skills they need for their clerkships.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Following MCE, students complete the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicine.yale.edu\/education\/curriculum\/clerkships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Integrated Clerkship<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> curriculum, which consists of four 12-week blocks organized around the following themes: internal medicine and neurology; surgery and emergency medicine; obstetrics and pediatrics; and primary care, psychiatry, and pediatrics.<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/medicine.yale.edu\/education\/curriculum\/advancedtraining\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Advanced Training<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> occurs in the final months of medical school and offers greater flexibility, granting students the ability to solidify their career path, pursue clinical experiences through electives and sub-internships, research, work on their thesis, apply for residency, and study for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaptest.com\/usmle\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">USMLE<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to the MD track, Yale School of Medicine offers the following dual-degree programs:<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/medicine.yale.edu\/mdphd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">MD\/PhD<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2013 this program is ideal for those interested in learning how physician-scientists can advance patient care through clinical medicine and research. The program boasts a wide variety of clinical and research opportunities that connect students with divisions, departments, and schools across the university.<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/publichealth.yale.edu\/admissions\/programs\/mph\/two-year_mph\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">MD\/Master of Public Health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2013 this customizable, 20-course program is suited for those interested in a career in public health. It ensures a solid grounding in basic and applied sciences.<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/medicine.yale.edu\/education\/research\/mhs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">MD\/Master of Health Science<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2013 this joint-degree program is for those students who are completing a full fifth year of research.<\/span><br \/>\n<a id=\"impact\"><\/a><div  style='padding-bottom:10px; ' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h3    avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_heading  '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >How has the Yale School of Medicine Made an Impact?<\/h3><div class='special-heading-border'><div class='special-heading-inner-border' ><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After more than two centuries in medical education, it should come as no surprise that the Yale School of Medicine has made a huge impact.
