Erica Corredera, MD

After studying medicine at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, I completed my internal medicine residency at the Weill Department of Medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine campus in Manhattan. There, I had the pleasure of serving New York’s incredibly diverse population both in the inpatient setting, as well as in two outpatient clinics located in the Upper East Side and in Long Island City, Queens, respectively. Having the opportunity to tend to patients from all over the world, who brought with them an array of cultural beliefs and endemic diseases, strengthened my versatility as a physician.

During my training, I rotated on MSK’s inpatient gastroenterology oncology service under the supervision of Tabitha N. Goring, MD. In addition to gaining exposure to a wide range of pathologies, I worked in conjunction with MSK’s medical, surgical, and palliative care teams to take an integrative approach to patient care. My time at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine and MSK has prepared me to navigate the myriad of interventions available for my patients, including palliative and end-of-life measures.

As I trained as an internist, I developed a strong interest in medical education, specifically curriculum development and diversity and inclusion within medicine. I aim to actively mentor and contribute to the education and professional development of the diverse group of medical students and residents rotating through MSK. I am also passionate about quality improvement and the patient safety experience and plan to promote patient safety practices to deliver evidence-based care to my patients.

When I am not working, I enjoy traveling to the Caribbean to visit mine and my partner’s families, watching Broadway musicals, and walking my French bulldog puppy Frida.
