Carlos Irwin A. Oronce, MD, MPH, PhD, is a faculty associate at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and an assistant professor in the Division of General Internal Medicine and Health Services Research at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine. He is also a core member of the leadership team for UCLA Healthcare Value Analytics and Solutions. He works clinically as a hospitalist at the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System.

His work focuses on older adults and racial and ethnic minoritized populations with a growing emphasis on data disaggregation to address population health and health care disparities among Asian Americans. His current projects include evaluating health system adoption of value-based care models, understanding racial differences in low-value care, and measuring disparities in access and quality of care among older Asian Americans in Medicare.
