Erwin C. Wang, MD

As a native New Yorker, I am honored to contribute to the health and wellbeing of my community. This commitment is reflected in my dual roles as an actively practicing academic hospitalist at NYU Langone Hospital — Brooklyn and the director of quality, clinical documentation excellence, and value-based medicine. I am proud to serve the richly diverse community of Sunset Park, providing exceptional medical care to patients hospitalized with acute illnesses.

With over a decade of clinical experience, I specialize in managing acute conditions and ensuring that each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs. My background includes a double major in biology and philosophy from Cornell University, followed by a master's in health administration and work in health policy before attending medical school. These experiences have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of healthcare delivery and the importance of quality improvement.

Throughout my career, I have focused on enhancing hospital systems and processes to deliver the highest quality care. My research, published in esteemed journals such as JAMA Network and New England Journal of Medicine Catalyst, includes projects on the implementation of artificial intelligence tools to predict patient outcomes, reducing hospital-acquired infections, and standardizing hospital procedures post-merger. These initiatives aim to improve patient safety and outcomes across our health system.
