In both classroom and seminar settings, teachers cover topics in basic and clinical sciences as well as highly individualized instruction in writing and communication skills. The emphasis of the Yale MMEP program is not on MCAT preparation, although MCAT review and practice MCAT test-taking are offered. Yale MMEP students have access to the clinical, research and educational facilities of Yale School of Medicine. Classes are held in the main medical school lecture halls and conference rooms located in the Ellen Hope Building and Sterling Hall of Medicine. Yale-New Haven Hospital, located on the medical school campus, is one of the leading medical centers in the world.
MMEP students have an opportunity to observe the work of physicians in a variety of departments.
Students are also scheduled for observational experiences in the surgical operating rooms, the autopsy room and the emergency department. Students are housed at no charge in Yale dormitories and have an opportunity to interact with medical students who also serve as teaching assistants and dormitory counselors. MMEP students receive a discount in the Yale-New Haven Hospital cafeteria. In addition, many restaurants are within easy walking distance of the Medical Center.
