I am a medical oncologist with specialization in breast cancer. I am committed to ensuring that all patients receive high-quality, compassionate, patient-centered care. I strive to be a good listener and help patients make decisions that are right for them. A cancer diagnosis impacts the whole family, and I am committed to supporting the patient and their loved ones through their cancer journey. I believe in partnering with the patient\u2019s other medical providers to ensure all medical needs are being met. When available, I try to connect patients with clinical trials to give them access to cutting-edge therapies while helping advance cancer research to benefit all patients.<\/p>\n

In addition to caring for cancer patients, I conduct cancer research focused on evaluating cancer outcomes and improving cancer care delivery. I study how to improve our health systems to improve patient outcomes, and I am especially interested in developing interventions that help patients avoid high-cost, low-value care. I have expertise in use of \u201cbig data\u201d such as administrative claims linked to cancer registry data (e.g. SEER-Medicare) and electronic health record-derived data to identify gaps in cancer care quality. I am interested in leveraging big data to identify patients at high risk for adverse outcomes (such as hospitalization or death) and to implement targeted interventions to better support those high-risk patients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":59064,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"layout":"","cellInformation":"","apiCallInformation":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"ud_division":[102,84,94,101],"class_list":["post-59449","ud_entry","type-ud_entry","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","ud_division-all-faculty-profiles","ud_division-breast-cancer","ud_division-breast-physicians","ud_division-our-faculty-syndication","odd"],"acf":[],"ud_entry_custom_fields":{"ud_last_name":"Ray","ud_first_name":"Emily","ud_gallery_summary":"","ud_telephone":[{"ud_location":"Office","ud_number":"9199664431"},{"ud_location":"Appointments","ud_number":"9849740000"}],"ud_email":"","ud_positions":[{"ud_title":"Associate Professor of Medicine"}],"ud_options":[],"ud_sort_order":""},"featured_image":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/oncology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1288\/2022\/03\/Emily_Ray.png","featured_image_medium":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/oncology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1288\/2022\/03\/Emily_Ray-225x300.png","featured_image_medium_large":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/oncology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1288\/2022\/03\/Emily_Ray-768x1024.png","featured_image_large":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/oncology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1288\/2022\/03\/Emily_Ray-768x1024.png","featured_image_thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/oncology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1288\/2022\/03\/Emily_Ray-150x150.png","yoast_head":"\nEmily Ray, MD, MPH - Division of Oncology<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/oncology\/people\/emily-ray-md-mph\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Emily Ray, MD, MPH - Division of Oncology\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I am a medical oncologist with specialization in breast cancer.
