Biography
Daniel Yang M.D. is a program director of Patient Care at the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation where he established the Diagnostic Excellence Initiative, which plans to invest $85 million in grant funding over six years.

The initiative is focused on three clinical categories of diseases that contribute to a disproportionate share of harm from suboptimal diagnosis including acute vascular events, infections and cancer.
Daniel is also a practicing hospitalist and a board-certified internal medicine physician. He completed his residency training at the University of California, San Francisco. He subsequently completed a fellowship in health care systems design at Stanford University's Clinical Excellence Research Center. He received his bachelors and medical degree at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
