The Department of Medical Education at Griffin Hospital is nationally recognized for its innovations in medical training and community research. Our Yale-affiliated program encompasses specialized internal medicine, preventive medicine (with a unique track in cancer prevention and control), combined internal medicine/preventive medicine, transitional year and preliminary year residency opportunities. At Griffin we seek to develop physicians who will act as leaders in improving the health of the communities we serve.

Our numerous grant-funded programs such as the National Community Center of Excellence in Women's Health and the Griffin Center for Health and Human Rights help us provide unique opportunities to engage in both clinical and community-based research, design and participate in international health rotations, and attend classes at the Yale School of Public Health. Faculty work closely with residents to create tailored rotation schedules that include Griffin Hospital, Yale New Haven Hospital, the Centers for Disease Prevention and control, the National Institutes of Health, the American Cancer Society and state and local health departments.

Griffin Hospital is dedicated to providing state of the art medical education, and has received numerous recognitions from institutions such as the Health Resources and Services Administration, the Office on Women's Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Recently named as Fortune magazine's "Top 100 Places to Work For" for the fourth year in a row, the hospital continues to dedicate itself fostering innovation in patient care and medical education.
