On April 10th and 11th, over 250 of the world’s top medical school candidates were invited to campus for Yale School of Medicine’s Second Look Weekend, offering an immersive two-day experience as students made their final decisions on where to pursue their MD or MD-PhD.
Throughout the event, prospective students toured Yale’s medical campus, attended lectures, panel discussions, and networking receptions, and got a true taste of both Yale and New Haven life. Event spaces included The Anlyan Center, Café Med, the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library, Yale University Art Gallery, Yale Anatomy Lab, Simulation Lab, Gryphon’s Pub, and Olives and Oil.
Highlights included a Taste of New Haven party at Gryphon’s Pub featuring dishes from five legendary local restaurants, tail wags from Handsome Dan, and a final evening cocktail reception hosted by alumni at Olives and Oil. Students also heard from Dean Nancy Brown and Dean Jessica Illuzzi, and attended the inaugural Forrester ‘Woody’ Lee Lecture given by Dr. Damani Pigott from the Office of the Provost.
