Academic Achievements & Community Involvement
Clinical Care
Overview
Carrie A. Redlich, MD, is an occupational and environmental medicine specialist who focuses on diagnosing and treating lung diseases related to environmental and workplace exposures. She is particularly interested in conditions such as work-related asthma and the health effects of isocyanates, which are chemicals used in the production of polyurethane foams and coatings.
As a professor of medicine at Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Redlich conducts research on occupational and environmental lung diseases, aiming to improve understanding and prevention of these conditions.
Dr. Redlich received her medical training from Yale School of Medicine. She completed a residency in medicine and a fellowship in pulmonary and critical care medicine at the University of Washington. She also completed a fellowship in occupational and environmental medicine at Yale School of Medicine.
