Yale Psychiatry Residents' Association

History to Logo

Welcome to the homepage of the Yale Psychiatry Residents' Association (YPRA)!

For nearly four decades, the YPRA has played a central role in resident advocacy at Yale. It has served as a liaison sponsoring both social and educational forums between residents, faculty and alumni. The YPRA is responsible for overseeing resident representation in virtually every departmental committee involved in making significant changes in the residency program. We have initiated a wide range of educational forums, including fireside chats with alumni, journal clubs, the Malcolm Bowers Clinical Rounds and actively participate in the selection of speakers for our Grand Rounds. We have also organized social events ranging from tailgate parties at the annual Harvard-Yale football game to formal dinner gatherings with faculty and alumni.

There are over eighty psychiatry residents at Yale, all of whom are members of the YPRA. The YPRA helps to maintain a level of cohesion among the residents that creates a unique setting for developing diverse relationships and exchanging ideas.
