Yale-New Haven Medical Center

The combined facilities of the Yale School of Medicine, the Yale-New Haven Hospital, the Yale Child Study Center, the Yale School of Nursing, and the Yale Psychiatric Institute constitute the Yale-New Haven Medical Center. The Connecticut Mental Health Center is closely affiliated with this complex.

The Child Study Center is an academic, clinical, and research center devoted to improving the understanding and treatment of children with psychiatric and developmental problems. The center functions as the Department of Child Psychiatry for the School of Medicine and Yale-New Haven Hospital. It has three major missions: to increase knowledge about children from infancy through adolescence using systematic research, to educate professionals concerned with children’s development, and to provide clinical services to children with psychiatric and developmental disorders and to their families. To achieve these goals, the center faculty and staff comprise professionals from the major disciplines concerned with children, including child and adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists, child psychiatric nurses, social workers, speech pathologists, educators, pediatricians, pediatric nurse practitioners, child psychoanalysts, geneticists, public health planners, and lawyers. Engaged in a broad range of research programs, educational activities, consultation, and service provision, these professionals educate the next generation of professionals for leadership roles throughout the United States and abroad.

The combined service, education, and research mission of the center fosters an environment in which students can further their interest in child development and contribute to the field of developmental psychology. Collaboration with the University occurs at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.

The Outpatient Clinic offers direct mental health services to children from birth to age eighteen at the Child Study Center and in school-based clinics in New Haven public schools. There are several specialty clinics that provide consultation for children with tic disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and developmental disorders, and there is a psychopharmacology consultation service. The Outpatient Clinic provides school-based mental health services in inner-city schools and walk-in immediate-access service in the clinic. The Yale Children’s Psychiatric Inpatient Service, a collaborative program of Yale-New Haven Hospital and the Child Study Center, provides inpatient and partial hospital care for children between the ages of four and fourteen. Community-based child and adolescent mental health services include the Family Support Service for vulnerable children and families; in-home psychiatric services; and the Child Development and Community Policing Program, a collaboration between the Child Study Center and the New Haven Department of Police Services to serve children exposed to violence and other trauma. Director, Fred R. Volkmar, M.D.; Acting Chief of Child Psychiatry, Joseph L. Woolston, M.D.

The Connecticut Mental Health Center (CMHC) is an urban community mental health center, owned by the State of Connecticut and operated by the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services in partnership with Yale University Department of Psychiatry. The CMHC has a thirty-year tradition of serving disadvantaged persons with serious illness. The center provides innovative services and solutions to challenging problems of patient care, drawing on research into the causes, treatment, and prevention of behavioral disorders.

CMHC treats individuals suffering from severe and persistent psychosis, depression, anxiety, substance abuse disorders (including heroin and cocaine) and those with dual diagnosis (both mental and drug-related problems). Several treatments in either an inpatient or an outpatient setting are available. Special clinics include the Hispanic Clinic (for Spanish-speaking individuals), and a clinic in West Haven that offers services to children and their families. The center also runs distinct outreach programs for both the homeless mentally ill and for individuals referred by the criminal justice system.

In addition, the center is committed to educating the next generation of behavioral health professionals, who not only will care for the seriously ill but also will continue the missions of education and research into the nature, care, and treatment of serious mental and addictive disorders.

The organization and activities of the Nursing Department reflect the integration of the clinical care and academic dimensions of nursing. This integration is achieved through joint appointments with faculty of the Yale School of Nursing.

Nurses practice in a range of patient care settings in the center, providing services to individuals, groups, and families, as well as attending to community-wide mental health concerns. Director, Selby Jacobs, M.D.; Director of Nursing, Rebecca Wettemann, M.S.N., R.N.

The Yale School of Medicine offers courses leading to the degrees of Doctor of Medicine, Doctor of Public Health, and Master of Public Health. In addition there are programs for postdoctoral training in the basic medical sciences and the clinical disciplines. A Physician Associate program is also offered, which awards a Master of Medical Science (Physician Associate) degree. Clinical facilities for instruction are available at Yale-New Haven Medical Center, the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and at various community hospitals in Connecticut with which the School is affiliated. The School of Medicine provides opportunity for students in nursing to extend their knowledge both through formal courses of study and informally through clinical conferences and rounds, where problems of patient care are discussed by doctors, nurses, and other health professionals. Dean, Robert Alpern, M.D.

Yale-New Haven Hospital. Founded in 1826 as Connecticut’s first and the nation’s fifth hospital, today Yale-New Haven Hospital, affiliated with Yale University Schools of Medicine and Nursing, ranks among the premier medical centers in the nation.

It also houses the nationally designated Yale Cancer Center. Yale-New Haven Hospital is the primary clinical campus for the Yale School of Nursing. There are many joint appointments between the staff of the nursing service and the faculty of the nursing school who collaborate closely in the education of students and improvement of patient care. Yale-New Haven Hospital’s commitment to excellence in nursing care attracts highly qualified nurses to its staff, many of whom serve as role models to the rest of the staff and nursing students who use the clinical facilities of the hospital. The hospital is also the flagship hospital of the Yale New Haven Health System, a fully integrated provider of comprehensive health care to individuals, families, and employees of large and small businesses. In addition, as a strong regional provider network, currently composed of Bridgeport, Connecticut; Greenwich, Connecticut; Westerly, Rhode Island; and Yale-New Haven hospitals, the system includes relations with insurance companies, managed care companies, physician practices, and employers throughout the state.

International Activities and International Representation

YSN has a long history of collaboration with colleagues and institutions abroad. Through these partnerships, YSN faculty have contributed significantly to improvements in global health by helping shape the delivery of health care that addresses the unique needs of individuals and communities around the world.

International students account for 5 percent of YSN enrollment. In addition, YSN students and faculty have partnered with institutions in over twenty countries.

The YSN Office of International Affairs (OIA), launched in the fall of 2002, supports the School’s historic and contemporary international partnerships and acts to strengthen YSN’s leadership in international health care and education. Since its inception, YSN’s OIA has increased the number of international programs, visiting scholars, and education and research opportunities abroad for students and faculty. The office has also increased YSN sponsorship of presentations by international faculty at Yale.

Through the OIA, YSN sponsors international joint ventures and student exchange with Mahidol University, Thailand; faculty and student exchange with Aomori University of Health and Welfare, Japan; and—through partnership with the Yale-China Association—the Yale-China nursing program which maintains an active relationship with the Faculty of Nursing at Hunan Medical University in Changsha, China. In the fall of 2004, YSN launched a new partnership with the Graduate School of Nursing at the Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy (MMA) in Moscow, Russia. Among the first collaborative activities of this partnership are a series of seminars in psychiatric–mental health nursing and health care ethics presented at MMA by YSN professor and 2004 Fulbright Fellow Douglas Olsen.

The Graduate Entry Prespecialty in Nursing (GEPN) has sponsored international community health service projects is such countries as Mexico, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Trinidad and Tobago, Japan, India, and New Zealand.

YSN students and faculty are also active participants in, and recipients of, numerous Yale University international fellowships, including the Wilbur G. Downs Fellowship and associate fellowships in the Yale World Fellows program. The YSN programs reflect the growing international interests of the University as a whole, as seen in a broad range of recent innovations.

A Global University

In a speech entitled “The Global University,” Yale President Richard C. Levin declared that as Yale enters its fourth century, its goal is to become a truly global university— educating leaders and advancing the frontiers of knowledge not simply for the United States, but for the entire world:

The globalization of the University is in part an evolutionary development. Yale has drawn students from outside the United States for nearly two centuries, and international issues have been represented in its curriculum for the past hundred years and more. But creating the global university is also a revolutionary development—signaling distinct changes in the substance of teaching and research, the demographic characteristics of students, the scope and breadth of external collaborations, and the engagement of the University with new audiences.

Yale University’s goals and strategies for internationalization are described in “The Internationalization of Yale: The Emerging Framework,” a document that embraces the activity of all parts of the University. The report is available online at www.world.yale.edu/pdf/Internationalization_of_Yale.pdf.

International activity is focused and coordinated in several University organizations.

Inaugurated in 2003–2004, the Office of International Affairs serves as an administrative resource to support the international activities of all schools, departments, offices, centers, and organizations at Yale; to promote Yale and its faculty to international audiences; and to increase the visibility of Yale’s international activities around the globe. Web site: www.yale.edu/oia.

The Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies is the University’s principal agency for encouraging and coordinating teaching and research on international affairs, societies, and cultures; www.yale.edu/macmillan.

Yale Center for the Study of Globalization draws on the rich intellectual resources of the Yale community, scholars from other universities, and experts from around the world to support teaching and research on the many facets of globalization, while helping to enrich debate through workshops, conferences, and public programs; www.ycsg.yale.edu.

Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS); www.oiss.yale.edu. See the description under General Information.

Yale World Fellows Program, which hosts twelve to eighteen Fellows from outside the U.S. each year for a term of concentrated study and close contact on the Yale campus; www.yale.edu/worldfellows.

For additional information: “Yale and the World” is a compilation, on the Yale Web site, of resources for international students, scholars, and other Yale affiliates interested in the University’s global initiatives: http://world.yale.edu.

Libraries

The major collection of the School of Nursing Library is housed in the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library. This allows students access to a broad scope of health care information and health-related information sources. There is a small reference collection housed in the School of Nursing for use by students and faculty. The School of Nursing reference librarian spends time both at the School and in the Medical Library.

The Medical Library supports the Yale-New Haven Medical Center, Yale University, as well as nursing and health professions in the community. The Medical Library is staffed by forty people (ten professional librarians and thirty clerical/technical people), who provide services such as acquiring and organizing collections, guiding users, lending or photocopying materials, and obtaining from other libraries those items that the Library does not own. The Library also offers library instruction and specialized seminars, and access to online databases by the reader and through mediated searches.

The collections covering nursing, clinical medicine and its specialties, the preclinical sciences, public health, and related fields are among the country’s largest in a medical center, numbering more than 380,000 volumes. About 90,000 or more are source materials or supporting works in the historical collections, including more than 315 incunabula. More than 6,800 current biomedical journals are received electronically, in addition to over 3,000 electronic biomedical books. The collections also include more than fifty manuscript volumes of the twelfth through sixteenth century, prints and drawings, painting, art slides, and museum objects. The Historical Library, a section of the Yale Medical Library, was founded by Dr. Harvey Cushing, Dr. Arnold C. Klebs, and Dr. John F. Fulton, whose personal collections form its core.

Yale’s main library is the Sterling Memorial Library, which, together with the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, the Cross Campus Library, and the Seeley G. Mudd Library, contains about 5,600,000 volumes. The Kline Science Library has 358,000 volumes and receives about 1,900 current journals, many in the life sciences. Messengers transport books daily among these and other units of the Yale University Library, whose more than 12.5 million volumes are available to all members of the University.

General Resources

Two sources of information about the broad range of events at the University are the Yale Bulletin & Calendar (YB&C), a newspaper printed weekly during the academic year, and the Yale Calendar of Events, an interactive calendar that can be found online at http://events.yale.edu/opa. The YB&C, which also features news about Yale people and programs, is available without charge at many locations throughout the campus and is sent via U.S. mail to subscribers; for more information, call 203.432.1316. The paper is also available online at www.yale.edu/opa/yb&c.

The Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History contains collections in anthropology, mineralogy, oceanography, paleontology, and some aspects of geology.

The Yale University Art Gallery is known worldwide for its collections of American art, the Jarves Collection of early Italian paintings, the finds excavated at the ancient Roman city of Dura-Europos, the Société Anonyme Collection of early-twentieth-century European and American art, and most recently the Charles B. Benenson Collection of African art. The Gallery is both a collecting and an educational institution, and all activities are aimed at providing an invaluable resource and experience for Yale University faculty, staff, and students, as well as for the general public.

The Yale Center for British Art houses an extraordinary collection of British paintings, sculpture, drawings, and books given to the University by the late Paul Mellon, Yale Class of 1929.

There are more than eighty endowed lecture series held at Yale each year on subjects ranging from anatomy to theology, and including virtually all disciplines.

More than four hundred musical events take place at the University during the academic year. These include concerts presented by students and faculty of the School of Music, the Department of Music, the Yale Concert and Jazz bands, the Yale Glee Club, the Yale Symphony Orchestra, and other undergraduate singing and instrumental groups. In addition to graduate recitals and ensemble performances, the School of Music features the Philharmonia Orchestra of Yale, the Chamber Music Society at Yale, the Duke Ellington Series, the Horowitz Piano Series, New Music New Haven, Yale Opera performances and public master classes, and the Faculty Artist Series. The Institute of Sacred Music sponsors Great Organ Music at Yale, the Yale Camerata, the Yale Schola Cantorum, and numerous special events.

For theatergoers, Yale and New Haven offer a wide range of dramatic productions at the University Theatre, Yale Repertory Theatre, Yale Cabaret, Long Wharf Theatre, Palace Theater, and Shubert Performing Arts Center.

The religious resources of Yale University serve all students, faculty, and staff. These resources are the University Chaplaincy (located on the lower level of Bingham Hall on Old Campus); the Yale University Church at Battell Chapel, an open and affirming church; and Yale Religious Ministry, the on-campus association of clergy and nonordained representatives of various religious faiths. The ministry includes the Chapel of St. Thomas More, the parish church for all Roman Catholic students at the University; the Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale, a religious and cultural center for students of the Jewish faith; Indigo Blue: A Center for Buddhist Life at Yale; several Protestant denominational ministries and nondenominational ministries; and student religious groups such as the Baha’i Association, the Yale Hindu Council, and the Muslim Student Association. Additional information is available at www.yale.edu/chaplain.

The Payne Whitney Gymnasium is one of the most elaborate and extensive indoor athletic facilities in the world. This complex includes the 3,100-seat John J. Lee Amphitheater, the site for many indoor varsity sports contests; the Robert J. H. Kiphuth Exhibition Pool; the Brady Squash Center, a world-class facility with fifteen international-style courts; the Adrian C. Israel Fitness Center, a state-of-the-art exercise and weight-training complex; the Brooks-Dwyer Varsity Strength and Conditioning Center; the Colonel William K. Lanman, Jr. Center, a 30,ooo-square-foot space for recreational/intramural play and varsity team practice; the Greenberg Brothers Track, an eighth-mile indoor jogging track; and other rooms devoted to fencing, gymnastics, rowing, wrestling, martial arts, general exercise, and dance. Numerous physical education classes in dance (ballet, jazz, modern, and ballroom), martial arts, yoga and pilates, aerobic exercise, and sport skills are offered throughout the year. Yale undergraduates and graduate and professional school students may use the gym at no charge throughout the year. Academic term and summer memberships at reasonable fees are available for faculty, employees, postdoctoral and visiting fellows, alumni, and student spouses.

During the year various recreational opportunities are available at the David S. Ingalls Rink, the McNay Family Sailing Center in Branford, the Yale Outdoor Education Center in East Lyme, the Yale Tennis Complex, the Yale Polo and Equestrian Center, and the Golf Course at Yale. Students, faculty, employees, students’ spouses, and guests of the University may participate at each of these venues for a modest fee. Up-to-date information on hours and specific costs at all these recreational facilities can be obtained from the Sport and Recreation Office (203.432.1431). Please check the Yale Athletics Web site (http://yalebulldogs.collegesports.com) for more information concerning any of these recreational facilities and programs.

Approximately fifty-five club sports and outdoor activities come under the jurisdiction of the Office of Outdoor Education and Club Sports. Many of these activities are open to graduate and professional school students. Yale faculty, staff, and alumni, and nonaffiliated groups may use the Yale Outdoor Education Center (OEC). The center consists of two thousand acres in East Lyme, Connecticut, and includes overnight cabins and campsites, a pavilion and dining hall, and a waterfront area with a supervised swimming area, rowboats, canoes, and kayaks. Adjacent to the lake, a shaded picnic grove and gazebo are available to visitors. In another area of the property, hiking trails surround a wildlife marsh. The OEC season extends from the third weekend in June through Labor Day and September weekends. For more information, telephone 203.432.2492 or visit the Web page at http://yalebulldogs.collegesports.com (click on Sports Rec, then on Outdoor Education).

Throughout the year, Yale University graduate and professional school students have the opportunity to participate in numerous intramural sports activities. These seasonal, team-oriented activities include volleyball, soccer, and softball in the fall; basketball and volleyball in the winter; softball, soccer, and volleyball in the spring; and softball in the summer. With few exceptions, all academic-year graduate-professional student sports activities are scheduled on weekends, and most sports activities are open to competitive, recreational, and coeducational teams. More information is available from the Intramurals Office in Payne Whitney Gymnasium, 203.432.2487, or online at http://yalebulldogs.collegesports.com.

Courses in Yale College

Advanced courses in various departments of Yale College may be elected by students enrolled in the School of Nursing, if schedule conflicts prevent them from obtaining particular course content on the graduate level. To enroll in a course offered by Yale College, students must first obtain permission from their adviser, the instructor of the course, and the departmental director of undergraduate studies. The elected course must be listed on the student’s School of Nursing course schedule within the prescribed period for course registration.

Courses in Yale University Graduate and Professional Schools

Students in the School of Nursing may elect courses offered by the various departments of the Graduate School and other professional schools of the University. In the past, students have elected courses from the Medical School and its department of Epidemiology and Public Health; Sociology, Psychology, and Anthropology at the Graduate School; and courses offered by the Schools of Art, Divinity, Law, Music, and Management. Students are encouraged to consult the bulletins of these schools, in which course offerings are listed and described, to seek content that may be relevant to their individual educational goals. Subject to the approval of the student’s adviser, the instructor of the course, and the departmental director of graduate studies, the elected course must be listed on the student’s School of Nursing course schedule within the prescribed period for course registration. Students should also check with the registrar of the individual school in which the course is elected for registration procedures specific to that school.
