Carmen Salvador Pajarillo, MD, MPH

I am currently an Internal Medicine intern at Yale New Haven Hospital, having previously graduated from Yale School of Medicine. Beginning in my research year with the Vascular Medical Outcomes (VAMOS) lab, I have been investigating how social determinants of health impact carotid revascularization outcomes. My goal is to become an academic medicine cardiologist, conducting clinical outcomes research while mentoring underserved and underrepresented medical students.

My experiences in premedical, public health, and clinical settings have beenstrongly shaped by working with Hispanic/Latino and uninsured/low-income populations. I have also mentored underserved and underrepresented premedical students through various programs. Additionally, through several Yale committees and local New Haven grassroots communities, I have helped identify and manage safety and security projects, advocating for traffic safety and educating peers on related issues. Through these efforts, I aim to make New Haven a safer and more accessible city.
