Dr. Yeh’s educational and professional journey has taught him about medicine’s duality, where basic healthcare access and delivery still elude millions in a nation endowed with immense economic, intellectual, and technological capital. Medically trained at UT Health San Antonio, Dr. Yeh became deeply committed to aligning patient-centered care with systems-level solutions that measurably improve outcomes for underserved communities. That commitment led him to pursue a Doctor of Public Health and to conduct research on NIH-funded prevention and health equity initiatives, including work with border and minority communities and decision science modeling to guide clinical decision-making in cancer prevention and chronic disease management. He has published more than two dozen peer-reviewed articles and book chapters and maintains an h-index of 9.
At his core, Dr. Yeh feels most at home as an educator, with experience teaching Rice University undergraduates, UTHealth graduate public health students, and UTRGV physician assistant and medical students. He finds purpose in teaching, mentoring, and learning from students, while setting high expectations within supportive, psychologically safe learning environments. At EnMed, Dr. Yeh serves in educational leadership roles across Practice of Medicine and Evidence-Based Medicine and is enthusiastic about training physicianeers who use critical inquiry to challenge assumptions and engineer solutions that strengthen healthcare delivery. In his first year at EnMed, he led an outcomes-focused redesign of the Practice of Medicine I & II course that improved overall course evaluation, instructional effectiveness, and instructional responsiveness.
Dr. Yeh synergizes his medical and public health expertise in epidemiology, decision science, health economics, behavioral sciences, and preventive medicine to help EnMed students critically appraise evidence and understand the systems-level consequences of clinical decisions and engineering innovation projects. He is also committed to service that advances the EnMed mission through curriculum and admissions work, student mentorship, and professional editorial and peer-review contributions. At EnMed, he sees a powerful opportunity to connect medicine and public health to clinical reasoning and engineering innovation, and to help physicianeers translate evidence into practical, ethical, and scalable improvements in patient care.
