Scolars at risk

Hundreds of thousands of people suffer from medical and surgical polytrauma, post-traumatic psychological distress, and sexual violence. The shelling of critical infrastructure disrupted the operations of most academic institutions, limiting doctors’ ability to train to address these new problems. 

We created a Scholars at Risk to help medical professionals meet educational requirements impossible to fulfill in-country due to the war and to advance knowledge and capacity for improved healthcare delivery in Ukraine. 

Since 2023 we’ve hosted medical professionals from Ukrtaine in Yale (how many)?

Our partners include Ukraine’s Ministry of Health, Christian Medical Association of Ukraine, The Primo Levi Center, The MacMillan Center at Yale University, Dwight Hall at Yale, and Yale New Haven Health System. 

We are developing a sustainable program to train more Critical Care, Obstetrics, Psychiatry and Psychology doctors, and are expanding our educational experience to Reconstructive Surgery, Interventional Radiology, Oncology, Interventional Psychiatry,  Pediatrics and more.
