Andrew Zbyrko, MD

Fellow
Yale New Haven Hospital/Yale University

I am a palliative care fellow with a strong interest in geriatrics and palliative care. I am drawn to palliative care because it allows me to slow down, listen deeply, and focus on what matters most to patients and their families during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

My clinical interests lie at the intersection of geriatrics and palliative medicine, particularly in caring for patients with dementia, frailty, and multiple chronic conditions. I am especially interested in navigating prognostic uncertainty, supporting shared decision-making, and helping patients and families balance longevity, function, comfort, and dignity. I value conversations that explore goals of care in a way that is honest, compassionate, and grounded in patients’ lived experiences.
