John P Donahue

John P Donahue, MD is an Assistant Professor of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at Yale School of Medicine. He specializes in musculoskeletal imaging with a focus on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and arthrography of the hip, shoulder, elbow and knee.

• Georgetown University School of Medicine (MD, 1991)
• Washington Hospital Center (Internship, 1992)
• St. Vincent's Medical Center (Residency, 1996)
• Columbia Presbyterian Hospital (Fellowship, 1997)

Dr. Donahue's research spans Radiology, Musculoskeletal Imaging, and Oncology. His early career publications focused on oncogene expression in gynecological cancers, investigating potential molecular markers for aggressive clinical behavior in endometrial and ovarian carcinomas. His clinical work emphasizes non-invasive diagnostic approaches to help patients return to full function.

His publications from the late 1980s show a research trajectory examining FMS oncogene expression as a potential biomarker for aggressive tumor behavior, particularly in endometrial carcinoma, suggesting early interest in molecular diagnostics that could predict clinical outcomes.

• Board Certified in Diagnostic Radiology by American Board of Radiology (1996)
• Former Chairman, Board of Trustees at Wakeman Boys' & Girls' Club (2014-Present)
• Former President, Greater Bridgeport Medical Association (2011-2013)

Dr. Donahue emphasizes patient-centered care, stating: "I like being part of the care team working to return people to full activity so they can enjoy what they love to do in life." He notes, "I tell patients that I will always be truthful with them and that I will work with them and their primary physicians to best achieve their realistic goals."
