Maureen Kim, M.D.Attending Neonatologist
Residency: Mt. Sinai Hospital, NY, NY
Fellowship: Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, Columbia University Medical Center, NY, NY
Research/Clinical Interests: As a neonatologist, I care for some of our hospital's sickest and most fragile patients in our neonatal intensive care unit. I am dedicated to improving the quality of care we provide for our critically ill neonates, who are especially vulnerable to consequences from hospital acquired conditions (HACs) and medical errors. I have led improvement efforts to reduce unplanned extubations in the NICU, reduce inpatient pediatric and newborn falls/drops, reduce radiation exposure for our NICU patients, reduce NICU readmissions and surgical site infections and improve antibiotic stewardship. I also have a passion for teaching systematic quality improvement science to medical students, graduate medical trainees, and fellow faculty.
