Graduates of the program are eligible and prepared to be board certified in the Micrographic Dermatologic Surgery subspecialty. Founded in 1988 by David Leffell, MD, the Section has grown to become the largest cutaneous surgery program in New England. Close collaborative relationships exist with the sections of plastic surgery, otolaryngology, oculoplastic surgery, medical oncology, and radiation therapy. The Section serves a catchment area of more than 3 million people. The faculty see patients from outside the primary catchment area, including international patients and regional dermatologists, plastic surgeons, head and neck surgeons, and ophthalmologists refer most of the patients we treat. As a university-based academic training program, there is a focus on education and training, clinical excellence, and research. Substantial research databases exist, which include access to clinical images. Within the training program, fellows have an opportunity to function on an increasingly independent basis. More than 3,000 Mohs micrographic surgery cases are performed on an annual basis. Early-stage melanoma and melanoma in situ are managed with both excision and Mohs surgery, and represent an important opportunity for the fellow to have the broadest exposure in cutaneous oncology. Training in surgical reconstruction is an integral part of the fellowship, as most of the Mohs defects are repaired in the Mohs Unit at the time of cancer removal. In addition to Mohs surgery, an important component of the fellowship is training in procedural aesthetic dermatology, employing a broad range of lasers, injectables, and other approaches to management of the aging face, scars, and other conditions amenable to procedural intervention. </video> <video> What Parents Should Know About Motor Stereotypies Description: For more information, please visit: https://medicine.yale.edu/lab/chawarska. MOTOR STEREOTYPIES ARE RHYTHMIC, REPETITIVE MOVEMENTS, OFTEN DEVELOPING IN EARLY CHILDHOOD. - We all engage in motor stereotypies. So some people might tap their legs. Some people might bite their nails and that's what we call a simple motor stereotypy. The kids that we see in our study are engaging in what we call complex motor stereotypies. Those tend to have their own rhythm. So it may include kind of a combination of different movements. Kids tend to have their own signature stereotypies. - Motor stereotypies don't always exist on their own in isolation. They often exist along with other symptoms. - Motor stereotypies are present in about 60% of children with autism. But we also see motor stereotypies is in children who are otherwise developing typically. - Complex motor stereotypies typically appear in the second year of life. In some children they may simply disappear. However, in other children, they tend to persist into adulthood. Research at Yale shows that complex stereotypies in toddlers may signal presence of other developmental vulnerabilities, and vulnerabilities may include social, language, or modal delays. In some children, these delays can be relatively mild. In other children, they can be more significant. - We want to understand where these stereotypies come from and also what they mean about a child's trajectory. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR PARENTS AND PROVIDERS TO KNOW WHEN INTERVENTIONS ARE APPROPRIATE FOR COMPLEX MOTOR STEREOTYPIES. - Just because motor stereotypies exist, does not mean that we have to intervene. There are many children who talk about, ‘I like to do this when I'm happy. I like to do this when I'm nervous. This makes me part of who I am.’ And in those moments, we don't want to change how they’re understanding their stereotypies or how it's being manifested. Because first and foremost, we have to protect the child's self-esteem. - However, there are some individuals where stereotypies really do get in the way. They can, even in some extreme circumstances, become self-injurious and so certainly we'd want to intervene there. - We need to help the child find other ways of kind of understanding what's going on in their body and manifesting it in safe ways. - Right now, the only effective treatment that we have for stereotypies is behavioral therapy. We're limited in our treatment approaches, and not all children can access them and receive them in the same way and, because of that, we need some new treatment choices for some of our families. NEW RESEARCH STUDIES THE GENETIC ORIGIN OF MOTOR STEREOTYPIES ACROSS THE DEVELOPMENT SPECTRUM. - We are taking a transdiagnostic approach, which means that we are actually bringing in children with a variety of conditions and children who are developing typically and what brings them together is that they all have some form of motor stereotypies. - We have families who have some concerns around their child's motor movement. We are offering them a comprehensive evaluation so that involves parent interviews to hear how the child is doing in their everyday life and we're also implementing evidence-based assessments to understand different parts of their development. - Just like with other neuropsychiatric disorders which we study, there is a family history in children with motor stereotypies. We’re using whole exome sequencing and by looking at this readout, we can compare it to individuals that do not have motor stereotypies and see where the differences are. Once we find the differences, we can then ask question, well, do these differences or mutations affect the function of the gene? And if so, then we pay more attention to those mutations. They are usually involved in more than one disorder or condition. We think that by isolating genetic causes of stereotypies, we can then parse out the different symptoms that are within some of these other disorders and figure out the biology of each of the components of those disorders. If we understand more about the biology of the condition, then we can develop new approaches, new therapies that would target the condition more effectively. - For us to have a better understanding of intervention, we need to have a really good understanding of what assessments are effective and where those behaviors come from. - Trying to understand what gives rise to motor stereotypies can help us understand what brings us all together in our neurodiverse universe. - We're all different, right? And we all get to express ourselves in different ways and that, I think, can lend itself to a much more accepting and much more interesting society. </video> <video> Cardiovascular Medicine Fellowship Program Description: For more information on the Cardiovascular Medicine Fellowship Program at Yale School of Medicine, visit: https://medicine.yale.edu/internal-medicine/cardio/fellowships/cardiology-fellowship. </video> <video> Match Day 2024 Photo Montage Description: Congratulations to all of our students who matched with a residency program this year! </video> <video> Welcome to the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library [older version] Description: For more information please visit: https://library.medicine.yale.edu.

We have produced a diverse group of alumni who practice all over the world and many are leaders in their respective disciplines. Our program has the honor of having trained the first African-American woman in orthopaedic surgery, and diversity remains an important part of our character. Approximately 20 percent of our residents and a similar percentage of our full-time faculty are women. We also have the distinction of having trained the only orthopaedist in the US Senate. At one point in the last several years, more of the country’s orthopaedic surgery department chairs were from Yale, than from any other program. The Yale Orthopaedic Association works diligently to maintain strong ties between these graduates and our program. Since our inception, our educational mission has been one of our most important endeavors alongside our commitment to patient care and clinical research. We strive to produce outstanding surgeons who have the ability to provide the highest level of care to their patients and become leaders in our profession. We seek independent, ambitious trainees who will play an active role in their education. Our residents benefit from the instruction of our talented faculty, who represent a truly committed group of physicians from within every orthopaedic surgery subspecialty. Our residents spend nearly all of their training time at Yale-New Haven Hospital or the nearby Veterans Affairs Medical Center located in West Haven. They also participate in a comprehensive two-year curriculum cycle that serves as the foundation of our didactic education. Additionally, we offer a variety of educational initiatives, which include service-specific conferences, journal clubs, lecture series, anatomy courses, and surgical-skills opportunities. We encourage curiosity and critical thinking by providing the time and opportunity to become involved with any of the department’s research opportunities or those elsewhere at Yale. Our curriculum includes 10-week rotations dedicated to research. Some residents use this time to develop projects to present at national meetings. Others have used this time to provide healthcare to under-served communities overseas. We are proud to produce graduates who are capable of continuing their training at the country’s top fellowships or beginning a practice in general orthopaedics. Thank you again for your interest in our program. We hope that you will consider Yale Orthopaedic Surgery for your training. We invite you to learn more about our program and culture, and please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions. </video> <video> Introduction to the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library Description: For more information please visit: https://library.medicine.yale.edu.

We are committed to dismantling systems of racism and other forms of oppression to build health equity through clinical care, research, education, and legal scholarship and advocacy. The Transitions Clinic programs in Connecticut are part of a growing national consortium of over 40 primary care centers, the Transitions Clinic Network (TCN), that serve the health and social needs of individuals recently released from incarceration. Each clinic has a culturally-competent healthcare provider with experience working with individuals impacted by incarceration as well as a community health worker who has been personally incarcerated. The Health Justice Lab leads the research activities of the SEICHE Center. The Lab investigates the health-harming effects of incarceration by employing a positive deviance framework to identify existing assets in communities most impacted by mass incarceration. Our research aims to tackle the top drivers of mortality following incarceration.The education initiatives provide training in health equity research and community engagement and expand opportunities for hands-on experience and mentoring for people with a history of incarceration, Yale University students and medical trainees. The SEICHE Center aims to shift the systems that disproportionately disenfranchise formerly incarceration populations through legal advocacy efforts on the local, state, and national levels. From changing institutional hiring practices to alternating policies related to decarceration, our Center applies strategies to changing the criminal justice, health, and other social systems that determine how populations impacted by mass incarceration are allowed to embrace healthy, flourishing lives. </video> <video> White Coat Ceremony Class of 2028 - Yale School of Medicine Description: For more on Yale School of Medicine, visit: https://medicine.yale.edu Join us in congratulating this accomplished group as they become the next generation of physicians in a time of great need. </video>
