Diversity & Minority Sub-I Scholarship

The Diversity Committee at Yale Emergency Medicine is dedicated to increasing representation, equality, and visibility of underrepresented minorities, LGBTQI+, and women physicians at Yale as well as in the greater field of Emergency Medicine. Reach out to David Yang for any questions!

Committee Activities

  • Minority Sub-I Scholarship: We offer a scholarship to underrepresented minorities accepted for sub-internship or ultrasound rotation at Yale EM Program. The committee also coordinates social activities for scholarship recipients and keeps in touch throughout the application process.

  • Medical School Residency Fairs: We are actively recruiting underrepresented minorities and send our committee members to recruitment fairs at medical schools such as Meharry Medical College.

  • Representation in National Organizations: Our committee members are actively involved on a national scale. For example, Ryan Buckley ran a residency application workshop at the Association of American Indian Physicians Conference in 2018. Caitlin Ryus is a co-chair of the LGBT Committee for the Academy of Inclusion and Diversity in Emergency Medicine.

Questions? Comments? Just wanna talk? Please feel free to reach out to Gabe Weingart or Nate Dembowski.
