Senior🎓
Top SchoolChase Yarbrough is a Senior Clinician Scientist and practicing hospitalist with 18 years of experience at the intersection of medicine, public health, and software engineering. He combines clinical roles at Boston Children’s Hospital and Brigham and Women's with engineering work—contributing to prominent open-source health IT projects like OpenMRS and Bahmni where he’s shipped backend optimizations and front-end usability improvements. Trained in computer science (Stanford), medicine (MD), and public health (MPH, Harvard), he builds practical digital health tools that improve access and clinical workflows. He has led product and technical efforts in startups and global health settings, including a CEO stint focused on expanding high-quality care and advisory work with Partners In Health. Known for bridging clinical nuance with engineering rigor, he often surfaces nonobvious wins such as schema-level database indexing and custom display controls that materially speed EMR performance and usability. He now applies that hybrid expertise at Abridge to scale clinically meaningful AI-driven solutions.
