Dr. Yvonne Maldonado
Yvonne (Bonnie) A. Maldonado, MD, is Professor and Chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California. She is also the Senior Associate Dean for Faculty Development and Diversity at the Stanford School of Medicine. Dr. Maldonado has served as the Senior Associate Dean for Faculty Development and Diversity since 2014, leading the School of Medicine’s diversity efforts. In that role she has oversight of four Associate Deans, including the Associate Dean of Medical School Admissions, ensuring that there is a commitment to enhance medical student diversity.
In addition, she is the PI of the NIMHD-funded Stanford Precision Health for Ethnic and Racial Equity Center (SPHERE), one of the first national centers focused specifically on using precision-medicine tools to improve the health of underserved ethnic and racial groups. Her hope is to bring her expertise and resources in this role to promote diversity, inclusion and equity in the academic workforce.
