Yuliya N. Yoncheva, PhD

Through co-production in healthcare and research, I reimagine patient-centered education for the AI era, emphasizing participatory medicine and learner co-design for sustainable competency development.

I design participatory frameworks that advance digital competence and equitable AI fluency through human-computer interaction research, building on my NIH-supported foundation in educational interventions that center on empathy and learner agency.

As Principal Investigator on a Macy Foundation Grant, I lead the development and validation of a generative AI-based system for training patient education and counseling skills.
