Continuing education network builds on physician acceptance.

In 1975, the Department of Internal Medicine at Yale and nine community hospitals in southwestern Connecticut began a continuing medical education program, the Yale Affiliated Hospital Program (YAHP). Physicians from Yale and the community hospitals were involved in the planning and organization of the YAHP from the beginning, since the authors believe that physician acceptance is necessary for the success of a program between a university medical center and community hospitals. The attention to physician acceptance has fostered a cooperative spirit and trust among members of the group so that issues in addition to education, such as house staff and faculty recruitment, program content, and regional planning, can be dealt with.

The Yale Affiliated Hospital Program in Internal Medicine. I. Organization, goals and plans.

In July, 1975, the Departments of Internal Medicine at the Yale University School of Medicine and eight community hospitals in southern and western Connecticut formed the Yale Affiliated Hospital Program (YAHP) in Internal Medicine. The YAHP provides a planned and focused program of continuing education for medical staff and housestaff at the affiliated hospitals. Six formats for the over 1,000 rounds, lectures, and conferences given annually are used. The members of the YAHP also cooperate in housestaff and faculty recruiting, evaluation of quality of care and evaluation of the process of continuing medical education itself. This report summarizes the organization, goals and future plans of the YAHP.
