Any list of top doctors who specialize in occupational and environmental health would have to include Dr. Carrie Redlich, M.D., of Yale University. Dr. Redlich is a Professor of Medicine (Occupational Medicine) at Yale, as well as the Director of the Occupational and Environmental Medicine Program, which is a section of the Department of Internal Medicine at The Yale University School of Medicine.
Dr Redlich received her M.D. from Yale University Medical School in 1982, and continued at Yale for her residency training in internal medicine. After completing her residency, she went on to obtain her Masters of Public Health at Yale in 1988. She also completed a fellowship at Yale’s department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Dr. Redlich then went on to complete a fellowship in pulmonology disease and critical care at the University of Washington in Seattle in 1989, but later returned to Yale to join the Occupational and Environmental Health Program as an attending physician in 1990.
Dr. Redlich is is board-certified in internal medicine, occupational medicine and pulmonary disease, and was cited by New York magazine as one of the best New York-area doctors. Currently, she serves as a staff physician at not only Yale-New Haven Hospital, but also at the West Haven Veterans Administration.
Dr. Redlich has led or participated in many research projects, most of which concerned the effects of environmental and work-related toxins on the lung. She continues to research occupational and environmental lung problems, including mesothelioma, a cancer of the lungs' outer lining which is directly connected to past asbestos exposure. One of her areas of research has been biomarker research, which is intended to increase early detection of cancers. She has also studied the effects of retinoid and vitamin A on the lungs' health.
Yale’s Occupational and Enviromental Medicine Program is the country’s first post-graduate fellowship program in this field of medicine, and boasts a number of nationally known experts in occupational medicine.
Dr. Redlich has published her findings widely, in such well-respected medical journals as the Annals of Occupational Hygiene, Chest, and the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
