Biography

Dr. David Yang is a Clinical Instructor in the Department of Emergency Medicine. He earned his BS in Biomedical Engineering and BSAS in Electrical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis, MD from LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans, and his MHS from Yale University. He recently completed his emergency medicine residency through the Yale Emergency Scholars Program and his Yale Emergency Scholar and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) fellowship.

Nationally, Dr. Yang has served as Mental Health Co-Chair for the Asian American Pacific Medical Students Association (APAMSA) and on the Equity and Inclusion Committee with the Society of Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM). At the local level, he works closely with the sexual assault forensics committee and providing language concordant education to improve bystander interventions in cardiac arrest.

Dr. Yang's current research focuses on addressing disparities of care in three domains.

Second, he focuses on improving the quality of care that survivors experience after a sexual assault. Third, he examines disparities in health outcomes and prehospital service utilization
