Daniella Carnevale

School of Medicine

I was born in the city of Providence, Rhode Island and raised in Cranston, Rhode Island. I obtained my Bachelor of Science in management from Rhode Island College. 

I volunteered for over two years as a medical scribe at the Rhode Island Free Clinic, a clinic serving the uninsured residents of Rhode Island, and then began volunteering in rural Rhode Island as an Advanced Emergency Medical Technician. I have worked on a research project with the Rhode Island Department of Health’s Department of Equity designed to detect and measure gaps in programming for underserved populations across the state. Finally, I have experience as a medical scribe in Rhode Island’s inner city emergency rooms through my work at Brown Emergency Medicine.

Working in an urban healthcare setting grants clinicians the privilege of encountering humanity in its most beautifully diverse forms. I enjoy the challenge of connecting with an array of patients that come from different cultural backgrounds and so come with unique needs around effective, patient-centered care. Through involvement in the Urban Service Track/AHEC Scholars (UST/AS) Program, I aspire to expand the breadth of my cultural awareness and enhance my capacity to connect with diverse and often underserved urban communities. I also hope to gain insight into the emerging or prevailing challenges faced by underserved communities and how policy change and advocacy may ameliorate or eliminate those challenges.
