Bio
Diana N. Carvajal, MD, MPH (she/her/ella) joined DFMCH as faculty in 2024. Carvajal is a practicing family physician and NIH-funded clinician-researcher. She completed residency at Columbia University Medical Center in New York, NY, her MPH at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and a primary care health services research fellowship at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Her research focuses on addressing reproductive health inequities for the most marginalized communities with a focus on Latine populations and on employing lenses of reproductive justice and intersectionality to understand how clinicians can best support and communicate with their patients about important reproductive health decisions.
In previous positions, Carvajal led and developed residency social justice curricula and health justice tracks. She served on several diversity, equity, and inclusion committees at both institutional and national levels including participation in efforts that succeeded in eliminating race from kidney function estimates across a large institution.
Carvajal is also the director of diversity, equity, inclusion, and strategic planning for the national RHEDI program based at the Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, NY. There she leads the development and implementation of programs to diversify the reproductive health workforce in family medicine and leads an online, nationally distributed social and reproductive justice-based curriculum. Carvajal believes very much that her academic work is firmly grounded in clinical care, teaching, and institutional service. Each of these realms overlap and fuel her passion for her work.
