Biography
Kamil Faridi is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Section of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Yale School of Medicine and an Investigator at the Yale Center for Outcomes Research and Evaluation. He received his medical degree from the Duke University School of Medicine and went on to complete his residency training in Internal Medicine at The Johns Hopkins Hospital and fellowship in Cardiovascular Medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. As a cardiology fellow, he also completed a research fellowship at the BIDMC Smith Center for Outcomes Research in Cardiology and received a Master of Science Degree in Epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. He is board certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular medicine, and echocardiography, and is a general cardiologist and echocardiographer at Yale New Haven Hospital. He is a member of the American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association, and the American Society of Echocardiography.
Dr. Faridi’s research interests include primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and stroke, utilization of cardiovascular medications and echocardiography in clinical practice, and effective use of real-world evidence to enhance cardiovascular care. He has recently been awarded the Yale Center for Clinical Investigation (YCCI) Junior Faculty Scholar Award to pursue outcomes research in cardiology.
