Julio Nunes, MD

I am a Psychiatry Resident at Yale University, with clinical experiences in Brazil and the U.S. After medical school, I completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the Stanford University Center for Clinical Research, where I studied shared decision-making and disparities. There, I was awarded for achievements in clinical trial equity, diversity, and inclusion. Now at Yale, my interests lie at the intersection of medicine, psychiatry, and addiction. I am a part of the Pain and Addiction Interaction Neurosciences Laboratory, where we research pharmacological treatments for patients with chronic pain and substance use disorders. I am particularly interested in how health-care disparities affect pain management for persons living with addiction. I have an additional passion for medical education and mentoring, and I was awarded the departmental Resident Teaching Award in 2023.
