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, 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, Alan E. Kazdin, Ph.D.; 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, Deborah Ward-O’Brien, R.N., M.S.N., A.P.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, David A. Kessler, 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.

University Resources

The major collection of the School of Nursing is in the Yale Medical Library, which serves the entire Yale–New Haven Medical Center, as well as others in Yale University, and also offers its services to the nursing and health professions at large.

The Yale Medical Library is staffed by 41 people (13 professional librarians and 28 library assistants), who provide such services as acquiring and organizing the collections, guiding users, lending or photocopying materials, and obtaining from other libraries those needed items that the library does not own. The library also offers library instruction and specialized seminars, and access to online databases both by the reader and through a mediated search service.

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 over 380,000 volumes. About 90,000 or more are source materials or supporting works in the historical collections, including over 315 incunabula. Over 2,400 current journals are received regularly. The collections also include over 50 manuscript volumes of the twelfth through sixteenth centuries, prints and drawings, paintings, 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.

Many units of the Medical Center maintain their own specialized libraries, including the small reference library in the School of Nursing’s education unit. 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 over 10 million volumes are available to all members of the University.

The hub of the museum’s activities will be the adjacent Swartwout building, housing Yale’s world-renowned collections of American paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts, as well as a selection of masterworks from all other departments.

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.

These resources are the University Chaplaincy (located on the lower level of Bingham Hall on Old Campus); the Church of Christ in Yale University, an open and affirming member congregation of the United Church of Christ; 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; several Protestant denominational ministries and nondenominational groups; and religious groups such as the Baha’i Association, the New Haven Zen Center, and the Muslim Student Association.

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, where 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.
