After 30+ years at the University of Washington School of Medicine, associate professor Christine Yuodelis-Flores, MD, will retire at the end of this month. 

Dr. Yuodelis-Flores earned her MD at the University of Washington and is board certified in both Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine. She has served over ten years as the medical director of Psychiatry at the Madison Clinic at Harborview which offers medical care and social services for persons living with HIV/AIDS, including psychiatric consultations, medication management and recommendations for continued psychiatric care. In this role, she has coordinated services from psychiatrists, psychologists, and integrated care managers. She has trained numerous psychiatry residents, fellows and junior faculty in the care of this complex patient population.

Additionally, Dr. Yuodelis-Flores worked with the addictions program at Harborview, and with the recovery services program of the mental health center. She spent many years as the consultant psychiatrist with the Healthcare for the Homeless team working out of the Downtown Emergency Services Center shelter and at Pioneer Square Clinic. She is known for her ability to engage and partner with her patients who often don’t trust behavioral health or medical providers and has treated some patients for decades.

We are immensely grateful for her contributions as a wonderful clinician, colleague, and teacher on virtually every clinical service at Harborview Medical Center over the years.
