Yi Yang, MD/MPH, is a board-certified diagnostic and interventional radiologist who grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.  She attended Duke University as an undergraduate, majoring in chemistry and minoring in English literature.  She then obtained a joint MD/MPH degree from UNC-Chapel Hill.  This was followed by a surgery internship year also at UNC Hospitals.  Dr. Yang received her diagnostic and interventional radiology training at HCA Florida Aventura Hospital through their early specialization in interventional radiology pathway.  She completed her interventional radiology training at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. 

Dr. Yang chose to practice interventional radiology because applying advanced imaging technology with minimally invasive techniques allows for precise treatments that often reduce or eliminate symptoms and hospital length of stays for patients.

Within medicine, Dr. Yang also participated in many research projects since high school. Most notably, working on global health projects in India, China, and Africa have allowed her to learn and contribute to understanding health on population levels. Nationally, her experience includes being in leadership positions within the resident/fellow/student section of the Society of Interventional Radiology as well as being a reviewer on the vascular interventional radiology panel for RadioGraphics, one of the premier journals published by the Radiological Society of North America.

Outside of medicine, Yi enjoys being outdoors, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
