Bridget A. Martell

Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine
Section of General Internal Medicine

Teaching Activities

As part of the pre–clinical clerkship curriculum, I teach history–taking and physical examination skills to first and second year medical students at Yale University School of Medicine. As an Addiction Medicine specialist, I lecture housestaff on both inpatient and outpatient management of medical complications of drug abuse. I am currently developing a curriculum for an elective during the Ambulatory Block rotation for internal medicine residents to experience clinical investigation in a pharmaceutical industry setting.

Research Activities

As Associate Director of the New Haven Clinical Research Unit of Pfizer Global Research and Development, Inc., I pursue my research interests as a clinical trialist conducting Phase I clinical trials that investigate novel pharmaceuticals.
