Yale Medical Residents And Fellows Draft 'Bill of Rights' To Improve Training Programs

By NICOLE LEONARD • OCT 29, 2019

Senior physicians at Yale New Haven Hospital were in the middle of presentations during a recent meeting of the graduate medical education committee when a group of interns, residents and fellows interrupted.

At the front of the room, they unfurled a banner painted with the words “Doctors Are Humans Too.”

I am so proud of our residents and fellows for filing for union representation!  They are integral to OHSU's success and absolutely deserve fair wages, affordable health insurance and basic accommodations such as adjacent on-call rooms.  Welcome to the AFSCME family everyone!
