"Physician, Pediatrics"

Overview

Yale Health is a unique healthcare entity created to serve the Yale University faculty, students, staff, and families. We are a clinician-led HMO and healthcare facility and are recognized as a Patient-Centered Medical Home. Our members are an amazingly diverse group of people from every state in the country and almost every country in the world. As Yale’s preferred healthcare provider for over 50 years, Yale Health offers members a patient-centered approach in an inclusive, culturally sensitive environment.

Located within the picturesque University campus, the Yale Health Building at 55 Lock Street houses nearly all medical services (primary care, specialty care, diagnostic imaging, urgent care, and pharmacy) under one roof. Our close ties with Yale New Haven Hospital and Yale Medicine specialists ensure continuity of care with outstanding clinicians in the Yale community.

Yale Health is an exceptional place to work. With generous University benefits, a beautiful environment, supportive leadership and friendly colleagues, job satisfaction is remarkably high. The pediatrics department prides itself on creating a supportive work environment emphasizing collaboration, professionalism, and lifelong learning.

In addition to seeing patients, our providers precept medical and APRN students and make hospital rounds on newborns. We do not attend deliveries or manage pediatric inpatients. Call is shared equally among 11 clinicians with phone call support provided by after-hour nurses. Weekend and holiday call consists of newborn rounding followed by seeing patients in the acute care facility until 3 pm.

Our EPIC EHR is fully integrated with the Yale New Haven Health Hospital system. As a result, all labs, radiology reports, ED encounters, hospital admissions, consultant notes, and communications exist under a single system. We now have an AI note-taking App, Abridge, which is integrated into EPIC, saving time on documentation. Additional support comes from our robust nurse triage system, an in-house lactation consultant and an embedded pediatric mental health program.
