Clinical Care
Overview
Sandra Zaeh, MD, is a pulmonary and critical care specialist who cares for people with a range of breathing issues, including asthma and diseases that make it difficult to exhale fully. She also treats critically ill patients in intensive care settings.
As an assistant professor at Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Zaeh studies ways to improve the delivery of health care by bridging the gap between research findings and everyday clinical practice. Her work focuses on helping patients with obstructive lung diseases receive the latest, most effective treatments in a timely manner. She has developed tools for shared decision-making regarding home oxygen use in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and assessed indoor air quality's impact on asthma in school settings.
Dr. Zaeh completed her medical training at Emory School of Medicine and pursued residency and fellowship training at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
