IN THEIR OWN WORDS...

"Emergency medicine is the most challenging field in medicine. Most programs only offer enough to make a competent ER physician. Yale gives 6 months of electives, 6 months of ICU, ultrasound, NYC toxicology, and a hearty patient load to make one an incredibly confident and competent ER physician."

"Yale was an obvious choice for me. No other program combined the opportunities available here: ultrasound, EMS, international medicine, critical care, trauma, large patient numbers, and support for research. The training available here will prepare you for a career in every possible environment." |

"The biggest thing on my list of 'must-have's' for residency was mentorship. Yale has amazing women leadership: something completely unique compared to the rest of my interviews. Also, the amount of critical care time and options for international electives was hard to resist."

"I chose Yale because hanging out with the residents the day before the interview, I got the feeling Yale was a friendly enviroment, and everybody seemed so relaxed and enjoying life. Yale offers a lot, most especially airway/intubations, good exposure to trauma, and a good variety of patients to learn from." |
