Clinical Care
Overview
Edouard Coupet Jr., MD, MS, is a physician-scientist and assistant professor of emergency medicine at Yale School of Medicine, where he also serves as core faculty in the Program for Addiction Medicine.
His research focuses on expanding access to addiction treatment—particularly from acute care settings such as the emergency department (ED)—as well as the epidemiology and prevention of assault injuries. He is dedicated to developing ED-based interventions that address substance use among assault-injured individuals and other vulnerable populations.
Dr. Coupet has received funding from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the Emergency Medicine Foundation (EMF) to support his work. He has served as a co-investigator on two multisite clinical trials evaluating ED-initiated buprenorphine for opioid use disorder.
He earned his medical degree from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. During medical school, he identified emergency medicine as the ideal specialty to render care to society’s most marginalized populations. He completed his emergency medicine residency training at the Jacobi/Montefiore Emergency Medicine Program. Following residency, he pursued a T32-sponsored fellowship in Emergency Care and Policy Research at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. He later joined Yale as a NIDA K12 Drug Use, Addiction, and HIV Research Scholar (DAHRS) awardee.
