Clinical Assistant Professor
Stanford Health Care
Stanford, California
Adjoa Boateng Evans is a physician, writer, and humanitarian. She completed her undergraduate degree and anesthesiology training at Yale, followed by a critical care fellowship at Stanford where she ultimately joined the faculty and currently serves as clinical assistant professor in the department of anesthesiology, perioperative and pain medicine. Prior to her role as an anesthesiologist and critical care physician, Adjoa devoted her work to marginalized populations. Additionally, she has completed research in several facets of addiction medicine, first at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, where she undertook projects focusing on Hepatitis C in injection drug users. Thereafter, during completion of her Master’s in Public Health, she analyzed the efficacy of naloxone overdose prevention programs in Philadelphia. Since then, she has continued to perform outreach that closes the patient-physician chasm and reframes health disparities within quality improvement efforts. In her current role, Adjoa marries this ethos to always assist those at the margins of society with her interests in the intersection of medicine and the arts. She is currently investigating racial and ethnic disparities in critical care medicine.
