Michael Green

Associate Professor of Medicine,
Associate Program Director for Ambulatory Education
Yale Primary Care Residency Program
Section of General Internal Medicine

Research Activities

Dr. Green’s research interests include graduate medical education curriculum development and evaluation. In particular, he has investigated strategies to integrate evidence based medicine and self-directed learning into clinical activities. He has approached this through trials of educational interventions, national surveys of residency programs, systematic reviews of curricula, and a prospective study of the frequency, characteristics, and pursuit of residents’ medical information needs. He has also developed a “users’ guide” for identifying, appraising, and implementing medical education curricula. Dr. Green is currently studying the comparative performance of electronic secondary information resources and developing a web–based tool to evaluate trainee’s practice–based learning behaviors.

In recognition of his scholarship in medical education, he has received the Society of General Medicine National Award for Innovation in Medical Education and the New England Regional Clinician Educator Award.

Clinical Activities

As associate director of the Yale Primary Care Residency Program, Dr. Green oversees the resident’s experience in 2 hospital-based continuity clinics, 14 community–based primary care offices, and several non–internal medicine specialty practices. He developed the program’s evidence-based medicine curriculum, which he has sustained for 8 years. He precepts in the residents’ continuity clinic and attends on the general medicine service at Waterbury and St. Mary’s hospitals. Dr. Green maintains a primary care and lipid disorder referral practice at the Chase Outpatient Center. The majority of patients referred to the lipid clinic have metabolic disorders related to HIV infection.
