Ma. Carla Hernaez-Evangelista, MD: Associate Program Director
I completed residency in Lincoln Hospital 2014 and immediately got an offer to work in primary care. I headed the Accountable Care Organization-High Risk Patients Performance Improvement project in Medicine Clinic aiming to decrease unnecessary utilization of ED and hospitalization and link patient more to primary care for their health care needs.
In 2017, I was appointed as the APD of IM Residency Program. I was elected in the same year to be a member/faculty representative of the General Faculty Council of Weil Medical College of Cornell University, NY. In 2019, I became an Adjuct Assistant professor of New York Medical College. In 2020, I joined the Hospitalist Department. I lead learning activities in the residency program which includes simulation lab, ventilator management sessions etc. Lincoln has help me through the years to explore my capabilities that I did not know existed before, and for that I will forever be grateful.
