Yale Residency Training Program

Yale-China has begun collaborating with Xiangya School of Medicine on residency training since 2007. Initially focused on training residents in Internal Medicine, Psychiatry and General Practice, the residency program has now been expanded to more than 80 departments at Xiangya’s three affiliated hospitals.

The residency training program has developed a uniform set of six core competencies, standards against which the residents must be measured. Additionally, there exists a program management team of directors and medical affairs office staff. Close collaboration is maintained between program directors and the department chairs in developing concrete training curricula and faculty development plans.
