Dr. Daniel Paul Ashley

I'm an internal medicine resident at Yale New Haven Hospital and an MD graduate of the University of Queensland – Ochsner Clinical School, passionate about contributing to advancements in healthcare through innovative research and evidence-based care.

About Me

“My experiences—from working in remote villages in Peru and Costa Rica to working in free clinics in my hometown of Fresno, California to going to medical school in Australia—completely changed my view of medicine. Working within different healthcare systems and treating people from all walks of life made me realize that I don’t want to just provide the best care for my patients; I want to help make sure all people can access the care they need.”
