About Development & Alumni Affairs

Whether facilitating volunteer efforts, an event or philanthropic support, the Office of Development & Alumni Affairs is dedicated to serving and promoting the interests of current and future alumni, as they pursue their role as leaders in medicine, health care delivery, and the biomedical sciences. The office works closely with the alumni leadership of the Association of Yale Alumni in Medicine (AYAM), the AYAM committees, and other alumni organizations to identify, create, and implement alumni programs that serve and enhance Yale School of Medicine's education, research, and clinical missions.

Philanthropy plays a critical role in the advancement of medicine and science. Gifts from donors—alumni, friends, patients, corporations, and foundations—support innovative research, clinical programs that bring the latest advances to our patients, and education for the next generation of physicians, scientists, and health care leaders. We welcome your partnership in this vital work. If you share our vision and wish to join us in discovering new approaches to unsolved challenges, please contact one of our development officers. Each is ready to assist you in creating a gift plan that matches your philanthropic goals with giving opportunities at Yale School of Medicine.
